Dracula: Ballet at its Darkest

  • Theatre
  • Dance

A bold, cinematic reimagining of the gothic classic, the critically acclaimed Dracula is a work of visceral physicality and dark romanticism.

Driven by masterpieces by Bach, Rachmaninov, Mozart, Liszt, Mussorgsky, Mendelssohn, Saint-Saëns and Debussy, guided by the visceral score of Emmy Award-winning composer Jason Fernandez and choreographed by Joel Burke, this haunting production features a powerhouse alumni cast from the Mariinsky, English National, Stuttgart and Australian Ballet.
