Dracula Balletmet

From a coffin rising from below the stage to the sudden death of a main character, Balletmet performs Dracula with sensuality, sexuality, drama and brief nudity. Intriguing throughout, the characters draw the audience in, captivating interest in excellent muscle control, superb special effects and a show that constantly reminds everyone they are not watching a Disney performance. Dramatic music pulsing during the show engages the audience to feel the carnal passion of the dancers, telling the story of a demon who desperately wants the blood of angelic Mina, torn between her benevolent husband and the vampire who recently killed her friend. A seducer who sets the stage for the beloved sensual monster for the next centuries, Dracula wins the audience with his raw emotion, clever escapes and witty behavior. A show that proves there is only one vampire that stands the test of time.

  2. I also went to the Dracula Ballet. It was my first ballet so I was really excited to see it. The things those people can do are so impressive, watching it you could tell all the hard work and dedication the dancers put into the show. I thought it was really good, I was sort of skeptical of the idea of Dracula being a ballet. To me it did not seem like that would work, but it did. I'm really glad I was able to go.

  3. The Dracula ballet was pretty awesome! As a fan of all things theatre, the performance was amazing. I was completely impressed by the capabilities of the dancers. With the help of the program's summary, it was entertaining to watch the story come to life. The entire experience of heading to the ballet with my fellow scholars students was an enjoyable one. I had a great time!

  4. The Dracula ballet was awesome. From an artistic perspective it was beautiful and interesting. However, it wasn't one of my favorite ballets. All in all, the storyline isn't my favorite and in recent years, the vampire theme has been beaten dead. It was really nice to be able to see a ballet for just five dollars though!

  5. The Dracula Ballet was beautiful. As a former ballerina it was truly enchanting to watch and made me jealous I'm not still doing it! It is truly an art form and I love the complexity of story that people tell with their bodies.

  6. The Dracula Ballet was phenomenal! I absolutely loved how beautiful it was and that I was able to see another portion of Downtown Columbus that doesn't happen every day. I'm dying to be able to go see something else at the theater.
