You don’t have to know Dracula to enjoy the ballet. 🦇

As we get closer to opening night, Dacre Stoker — great-grandnephew of Dracula author Bram Stoker — shares a little advice for audiences.

Watch the relationships. Notice how the dancers react to one another. Listen to the music. Sometimes the story unfolds without a single word being spoken.

We’ve moved from the rehearsal studio to the stage, and we’re getting our first glimpses of this incredible production coming together!
