Excellent interview…

…with Simon Keenlyside by Joel Lobenthal in the current issue of Ballet Review (summer 2014). I had no idea he was married to the Royal Ballet’s Zenaida Yanowsky. Keenlyside says: “[Being married to a dancer] is like living with a racehorse…It’s totally consuming.” And, about her having a second baby: “Monica Mason [the former head of the Royal] came up to me in the Covent Garden canteen with a very straight face and said, ‘You owe me!'” He comes across as highly intelligent, articulate, and self-aware.
