A haunting fusion of movement and sound.
International Ballet Theatre's inventive and live theatrical performance brings the stage to life with DRACULA. A visual performance set in Gothic times with costumes and pageantry. IBT's DRACULA draws inspiration from Bram Stoker's 1897 gothic novel of the same name, transforming this classical novel into a work of visual art, and featuring a Classical Music soundtrack provided by three of the most popular composers of the late 1800’s, French composer, Charles Gounod, Argentinian composer, Astor Piazzolla and Romanian composer, George Enesco.

IBT's DRACULA engages the audience in a howling good time. However, we must warn you that this is not your typical boy finds girl Vampire Love Story. You might witness celebrations by village people lost in time, zombies that are both slithery and fashionable, tap-dancing demons, and Gypsy dance battles on the edge of town.
So, isn’t it time to get out of the house and into a dark theatre?
