SYNOPSIS

Following a sold-out 2025 season, Dracula rises in a thrilling return to the State Theatre this September.

Driven by masterpieces from Tchaikovsky, Bach, Stravinsky and Rachmaninov – this haunting retelling unleashes a collision of desire, torment and immortality.

Choreographed by Joel Burke, Dracula features a powerhouse alumni cast from the Mariinsky Ballet, English National Ballet, Queensland Ballet, Australian Ballet, Stuttgart Ballet, and more.

Witness ballet at its best in this breathtaking production choreographed by Joel Burke. Follow Jonathan as he battles for survival against the supernatural, as spectral Ghosts close in and terror tightens its grip. The innocent Mina is left defenceless, drawn ever deeper into the dark, irresistible seduction of Count Dracula.

This ballet is destined to be love at first bite!

“A mesmerising, gripping narrative ballet.” — The Scoop

“Ballet at its darkest… dramatic and enthralling in every way.” — Otago Daily Times
