Sadler’s Wells Director Leaves To Run Paris’ Chatelet

The director of Sadler’s Wells Theatre is leaving to run Paris’ Chatelet Theatre. Jean-Luc Choplin’s “no-nonsense management style was honed in his years working for the Disney Corporation, and instantly ruffled feathers at the more sedate Sadler’s Wells. There was a string of well-publicised clashes culminating in a threat of legal action by four women managers over allegations of sex discrimination and constructive dismissal.”
