Destined to be love at first bite
Driven by masterpieces from Bach, Rachmaninov, Mozart, Liszt, Mussorgsky, Mendelssohn, Saint-Saëns and Debussy, this haunting retelling unleashes a collision of desire, torment and immortality.
Choreographed by Joel Burke, the production features a powerhouse international cast of alumni from the Mariinsky Theatre, English National Ballet, Stuttgart Ballet, The Australian Ballet, Queensland Ballet and more.
The production also features music by Emmy® Award-winning composer Jason Fernandez and award-winning set design by CTS (UK).
Presented by BIG Live in association with United Airlines.

"This was a ballet adaptation of Dracula. It was a bit different from the main story of Dracula, but it was really good. The ballet performances and choreography were amazing, and the music was a mixture of famous classical pieces and original score. The four spirits who live in Dracula’s castle were especially good and very creepy. They got the loudest cheer of the whole cast at the end. The lighting was also amazing, it changed to show different moods and areas. There was also a good amount of wire work to show Dracula flying around. Overall, I would say it was a very good Gothic ballet"
