The German choreographer Uwe Scholz passed away at 45 (and not 47 as said in the article)

He was born in 1958 and had been the director of the Leipzig Ballet since 1991.

This is going to be a bad end-of-year -- this is the third death of a major ballet person in a week.  Thank you for posting this, Estelle, and for posting the links, too.  I'd only seen his "La Fille Mal Gardee," and that, on tape.  He was one of the few choreographers still making classical ballets.
