By: Christina Mancuso Aug. 06, 2015
Two recently fired directors with Citie Ballet and husband and wife team, will take the ballet company to court on September 3. Former artistic director Francois Chevennement and former assistant artistic director and ballet mistress Laurence Menotti have worked with the company for the past nine years and were both fired on March 7.
As a result, three dancers left the company and the conflict has resulted in possible damage to the ballet company's reputation.
