After several months of discussions between the danseur étoile François Alu and the Opera National de Paris about his professional aspirations and his career as an artist, the departure of the danseur étoile has been announced. In full agreement with the Opera National de Paris management, François Alu will soon be leaving the Ballet de l’Opéra National de Paris.

François Alu says: “I have decided to regain my full professional freedom so that I can fully realise my artistic aspirations. We have therefore agreed with the Opéra national de Paris to begin the formalities together, while at the same time exploring future collaborations that we could carry out together.”
