Choreography by Edwaard Liang
Music by Oliver Peter Graber

Step into the shadows and rediscover a legendary tale. At the heart of The Washington Ballet’s 50th Anniversary season, Artistic Director Edwaard Liang crafts an original retelling of Dracula, exploring the depths of humanity and the tragic transformations of this hauntingly familiar story.

Guided by a sweeping soundscape from Oliver Peter Graber that builds to the emotional reckoning of Mahler’s Symphony No. 5, this production reveals a world of psychological intimacy and deep-seated desire. From the breathtaking sight of a bride in flight to the lush, gothic designs of the sets and costumes, every moment is a celebration of the raw beauty of dance.

Approximately two hours.
