...Solomons, Jr. and Jack Moore were uneven, having spots of brilliance, but the total effect was not captivating. Although Moore managed at a high point in "Songs Remembered" to make his running circles backward around the stage surprisingly exciting, some parts of his choreography, particularly in the love duet, were simply clinches...

Their attendants return, tug them apart and restore their robes, but the partnered dance that follows suggests the first steps of the love duet.

We are, as I said, almost convinced that Madama Butterfly is really about Japan-but Puccini's music spoils...
