I must admit, I expected more. There was very little dance. The story did not protray the tragic and cursed character of Dracula - the undead. The final scene could have been much more stirring in Dracula's death - showing his agony through dance as he leaves this existence and eventually finds peace in death - just think of the death scene in the silent Nosferatu as the count dies from the rays of the rising sun.
This was my first exposure to the San Antonio Ballet, and although there is a lot of talent with the dancers, it wasn't displayed on stage. Recorded music does not help. For the truely inspired performance of a world class dancer, the music must be alive, allowing the dancer to display his/her true skill and artistry in exhibiting the energy, excitment, thrill, and passion of of the dance on stage. Recorded music does not allow that. I understand this is a money issue, but the live dance is not complete without the live music.
