Why see Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre - Dracula?
Stakes at the ready!
Prepare for scares as Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre presents Michael Pink and Phillip Feeney's spine-chilling adaptation of Bram Stoker's gothic masterpiece. Resplendent with seductive choreography, sumptuous costumes, and exhilarating music, discover the edge-of-your-seat tale of Count Dracula, literature's most infamous vampire!
What is the story?
Bram Stoker's Dracula tells the haunting tale of a lawyer, Jonathan Harker, and his strange assignment at an even stranger castle in Transylvania. After a perilous journey where he is besieged by the locals to turn back, he finds himself in the employ of the enigmatic Count Dracula. Noticing his gaunt frame and scary appearance, Harker senses all is not right and is all too soon a prisoner. Tormented by seductive lady vampires and terrified by his jailer, Harker manages a daring escape. But the Count certainly won't be letting him off that easily, especially when he sets his hat for Harker's fiancee, the beautiful Mina. Will the vampire successfully track down his prey or will Harker manage to find a way to kill the monster forever?
