naomikage Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Patrick Dupond, former Etoile and artistic director of Paris Opéra Ballet has passed away following an illness. He was 61. How sad for a brightest star at his time. https://www.lemonde.fr/disparitions/article/2021/03/05/patrick-dupond-ancien-danseur-etoile-de-l-opera-de-paris-est-mort_6072102_3382.html https://www.lefigaro.fr/culture/le-danseur-patrick-dupond-est-decede-a-61-ans-des-suites-d-une-maladie-foudroyante-20210305 Link to comment

naomikage Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 At least Paris Opéra Ballet is sending tributes so I think sadly it is real (please correct my spelling mistakes, he is Patrick Dupond) Link to comment
canbelto Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Yeah apparently the hoax news was a hoax itself. Paris National Ballet has confirmed it. Very sad. So young. Link to comment
