In the current, Summer 2015 issue of Ballet International there’s a lot of coverage of Peter Quanz’s choreography as well as an obit by him on Elena. She brought him to the Mariinsky in 2007 to create the ballet Aria Suspended. Twice during that process I was there in St. Petersburg for a few days, staying at Elena’s (who lived, I discovered in Victoria Tennant’s book on Baronova, next door to the mansion Baronova’s mother had grown up in!) Quanz was staying with Elena, too, and it was all fun, frenetic, stressful, and wildly eventful! His ballet was beautiful, though–it’s on the cover of the issue.
