I had the extreme pleasure of dancing a Stanton Welch piece and hoping to see more companies picking him up as an emerging choreographer. Has anyone else seen or performed his work?

I saw Madam Butterfly in Boston this past May and it was worth seeing.

The pas de deux was beautiful, but a lot of the other dancing/acting was cliched to me, with exaggerated "Japanese" mannerisms.

Also, I would have preferred that Stanton Welch not focus so much of the story line on Chio Chio San's renunciation of her faith. I've seen the opera at the Met and don't recall that being a major theme, but I certainly could be wrong. It felt like propaganda to me, personally.

I don't much care for this genre of ballets including Snow Maiden, Cleopatra, Dracula, Hunchback of Notre Dame. I wonder if I have bad taste.

:confused:
