Dracula

The ballet opens in the 1600s. The warrior Vlad learns that his wife has been condemned and killed, renounces his faith and becomes Dracula, Lord of the Vampires. Two centuries later, the newlyweds Jonathan and Mina travel to Transylvania and enter the Count's castle, where Dracula sees in Mina the wife he lost.

Joel Burke choreographs. The score is led by Emmy Award-winning composer Jason Fernandez and draws on music by Claude Debussy, Franz Liszt, Camille Saint-Saëns and Modest Mussorgsky. The production has played London's West End, San Francisco, Singapore and Australia, and the Dublin run is part of its first European tour, 130 years after the Dublin-born Stoker published the novel.

The performance runs about two hours, including one interval, and uses strobe lighting, flashing lights, smoke and haze. Under 16s must come with an adult aged 18 or over, and under 3s are not admitted. Some seats are reached by stairs; for step-free access, contact the theatre's groups team at groups@bgetheatre.ie.
