    • 2015 November 5, “Fonteyn and Nureyev sparkle in Le Corsaire at Covent Garden: archive, 5 Nov 1962”, in The Guardian‎:
      Nureyev, it seems, is good for Fonteyn who, being the least vain and least umbrageous of ballerinas, evidently relishes his exotic, far from submissive partnership; and there must be something in Fonteyn’s gentle, unassertible authority which is equally good for Nureyev.
