The characters seemed symbolic figures in a morality play, and majesty and miracles were in short supply. A stunning exception was John Butler's choreography of the dances depicting the creation and union of Adam and Eve. The awakening of Adam (danced by Dennis Wayne), in which he slowly uncurled from a womblike position, was a high point in the opera...
