Timeline
Patrick Dupond (14 March 1959 – 5 March 2021) was a French ballet dancer and artistic director.
At the end of 1967, his parents met by chance Tessa Beaumont and Max Bozzoni, a former dancer at the Paris Opera Ballet.
The latter immediately sensed the young dancer's talent and agreed to take over his training.
In May 1968, he had to temporarily stop his school activities and dance classes.
When he returned to school, he was the victim of ostracism from his classmates because of his status as a young dancer.
He was admitted to the Paris Opera Ballet in 1969, at the age of ten, for the three-month preparation course.
He then passed the entrance test to the dance school and did all his training as a classical dancer there, while continuing to take private lessons with Bozzoni every evening.
He continued to study with Gilbert Mayer but his main teacher remained Bozzoni.
He was also a pupil at the lycée Racine in Paris.
On 14 March 1975, Dupond became a member of the Paris Opera Ballet, at age 16.
He won the gold medal at the Varna International Ballet Competition in Bulgaria, with Albrecht's variation from the second act of Giselle and Siegfried's variation from the third act of Swan Lake, the solo from the Lander's Études, Basilio's variation from Don Quixote, a variation from Le Corsaire, and finally a contemporary choreography created by him.
In December of the same year, he was named coryphée.
From then on, his career took off.
He created various title roles and continued his training as a soloist.
He had the opportunity to dance both at the Opera and on international stages.
He made a name for himself in 1976 when he won the gold medal at the Varna International Ballet Competition in Bulgaria.
In December 1978, following the internal promotion contest, he was appointed premier danseur.
He then danced for choreographers such as Rudolf Nureyev, Alvin Ailey and Maurice Béjart.
A virtuoso dancer, he was named danseur étoile of the Paris Opera Ballet in 1980 and met with considerable success in France, which did not prevent him from having an international career.
He was named danseur étoile, the highest rank in the company, on 30 August 1980, at age 21.
Dupond was appointed artistic director of the Ballet de Lorraine in 1988.
He worked with eminent dancers such as Rudolf Nureyev, Maurice Béjart and Alvin Ailey, and in 1990 he became dance director of the Paris Opera Ballet, succeeding Nureyev.
At the age of 31, Pierre Bergé appointed him the Director of Dance of the Paris Opera Ballet, a position he held from 1990 to 1995.
He also acted and danced in several films and created the group "Dupond et ses Stars", with Sylvie Guillem, Monique Loudières, Fanny Gaida, Manuel Legris, Jean-Marie Didière and the pianist/conductor Elizabeth Cooper, for a world tour of two years.
He left this position in 1995, then the Paris Opera in 1997, dismissed, in his words, for "his insubordination and indiscipline".
Subsequently, he appeared on various occasions on television sets as a contestant or juror for shows (for example: Danse avec les stars) while continuing to perform on stage.
Dupond's father left the family early.
Patrick Dupond spent a simple and modest childhood with his mother and her partner.
In order to channel her son's energy, his mother decided to enroll him in a football club and then in judo classes, but he quickly abandoned these activities.
He discovered his vocation by watching a ballet class, and his mother enrolled him in a dance class.
His abilities were quickly noticed, and his dance teacher advised him to take classes at a higher level.
In 1997, he was asked to be a member of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival.
His absence was not accepted by the general management of the Paris Opera, who thanked him.
Dupond was nevertheless offered a contract as a guest danseur étoile, a proposal he refused, preferring to go to court.
His application was rejected by the Prud'hommes.
In January 2000, he was the victim of a serious car accident which forced him to both rehabilitate physically and relearn to dance.
He went through a period of depression and alcoholism, from which he eventually recovered.
He then resumed his training with the help of his teacher Max Bozzoni.
