Description

Mobile Ballet's 26-27 Season opens with an all-new production of Dracula, premiering Saturday, October 24, 7:30 pm, at the Mobile Saenger Theatre - just in time for Halloween. With choreography by Raul Peinado, this captivating gothic drama comes to life onstage through classical and contemporary ballet, for one performance only. 

Daniel Benavides performs the title role, with Israel Rodriguez as Van Helsing, Andres Castillo as Jonathan Harker, and Mobile Ballet Company dancers Natalie Crepeau and Aubree Cate Joiner as Lucy and Mina. Felipe Valentini, Zion Harris, Jackson Borowski, and Humberto Ramazzina perform as the Four Suitors, with the remaining roles danced by members of the Mobile Ballet Company. Inspired by Bram Stoker's classic tale, the ballet is spellbinding rather than scary, with digital projections and special effects creating a cinematic atmosphere. 

Plus: Guests can start their evening early with Bite Before the Ballet, a VIP pre-show event nextdoor at Mobile Arts Council's Room 1927.
