The request for photos generated some interesting emails. Even though I didn't get much of what I was looking for, I did receive some great future material (including one from a British baritone that I could never post, but thanks for the candid shot!). I figured that these shots of Simon Keenlyside deserved immediate posting, especially since I'm on a Don Giovanni kick.
Looks pretty good for a guy who just had his 49th birthday.
ReplyDeleteThe top photo at least is from a previous run, I think. Last night I was waiting for my Tube train home (at Pimlico station FWIW) and I noticed a bloke taking a photograph of the poster advertising this production, including this top photo. I have never previously seen anyone photographing an advert at any Tube Station, so it intrigued me...
ReplyDeletegarn! post the pix that anon Brit. sent you.
ReplyDeleteIs he really 49? What's amazing is that he's not just a barihunk, he can actually sing and he's not boring like Nathan Gunn!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post.
Saw Don Giovanni last night with a superb cast. Mr K was absolutely brilliant and looks magnificent nude - quick but clear full frontal at the very end. Excellent also was barihunk Kyle Ketelsen as Leporello, and junior barihunk Robert Gleadow as Masetto
ReplyDeleteYo can get more images of this performance in http://www.simonkeenlyside.info/Articles/Perform/DonGiovanni/2008DonGiovanniROH.html
ReplyDeleteIf you click on the top photo in the page http://www.simonkeenlyside.info you'll see that is from DG's 2002.
ReplyDeleteI Saw S.Keenlyside last 08th in CG and he was wonderful, as usual.
