Lately who’s who of the city witnessed a passing of the baton in honor of Brigitte Lefèvre, director of dance at the Paris National Opera, by Vacheron Constantin. The company performed a ballet by George Balanchine featuring costumes by Christian Lacroix, and “Daphnis et Chloe,” by Benjamin Millepied, who will replace Lefèvre next November.
To sum up the evening we saw French culture minister Aurélie Filippetti; Juan-Carlos Torres, chief executive officer of Vacheron Constantin; Maryvonne Pinault, wife of François Pinault; architect Bernard Tschumi, and former culture minister Jack Lang amongst many others.
