Dracula takes the stage at Finnish National Opera and Ballet in Helsinki. The world’s most famous horror story about the Transylvanian count returns to the ballet stage. Krzysztof Pastor’s choreography was immensely popular in its premiere season in 2024 and is now revived by popular demand. The music by Wojciech Kilar was also heard in the Oscar-winning film Dracula by Francis Ford Coppola. The blood-thirsty and diabolical yet sexually alluring horror icon made his first appearance in European short fiction during the early 19th century. Bram Stoker’s Dracula, inspired by the historical figure of 15th century Count of Wallachia, Vlad the Impaler, has become a classic in popular culture. The haunting story has been recreated in countless film and stage adaptations since its publication in 1897. One of the best known renditions is the Oscar-winning film directed by Francis Ford Coppola in 1992. The chilling film music by the Polish composer Wojciech Kilar serves as the foundation for the ballet score, which has been complemented with Kilar’s additional compositions.
