SUMMARY:SIERRA NEVADA BALLET PRESENTS DRACULA
DESCRIPTION:In keeping with the Halloween spirit\, Sierra Nevada Ballet presents a new original full length dramatic story in dance\, DRACULA-The Ballet on October 18\, 2024 at 7:30 PM at the Carson City Community Center and on October 26 at 7:00 PM at the Pioneer Center for Performing Arts in Reno. In celebration of the season\, the audience is invited to meet the cast and have a party at the fabulous DRACULA BALL which follows immediately after the Pioneer performance at the Renaissance Hotel with refreshments and dancing.  Get ballet tickets early and RSVP for the Ball. \nDracula – The Ballet which premiered in 2023 is brought back by audience demand and is the original story ballet created from one of the most famous pieces of English literature about the frightening vampire Count from Transylvania. This original production choreographed by award winning artist Ananda Bena-Weber to the hauntingly beautiful music of Astor Piazolla\, draws upon Transylvanian folklore and history and includes drama\, intrigue\, suspense\, sensuality\, romance\, deception\, mystery\, horror\, death and murder with a touch of Victorian era eroticism. \nThe story is based on the novel by Bram Stoker\, published in 1897 which begins when solicitor Jonathan Harker who is in love with his fiancée\, Mina Murray\, takes a business trip to stay at the castle of a Transylvanian nobleman\, Count Dracula. Harker escapes the castle after discovering that Dracula is a vampire\, and the Count moves to England and plagues the seaside town of Whitby encountering several interesting characters including Mina and her best friend\, the beautiful Lucy Westenra and her three suitors. After Lucy dies mysteriously\,  a small group\, led by Abraham Van Helsing\, hunt Dracula and\, in the end\, kill him. \nMany of the story’s characters have entered popular culture as archetypal versions of themselves.  Count Dracula is the quintessential vampire\, and Abraham Van Helsing is the iconic vampire hunter. The story has been adapted numerous times in films\, Theater productions and ballets. \nTwo International ballet premier dancers\, Malachi Squires and Domingo Rubio lead a full cast of professional dancers with wonderful costumes and innovative sets.  Bena-Weber’s new adaptation with Tango inspired choreography captures the imagination of fantasy lovers with just enough intrigue and mystery to satisfy horror fans. \nDress in your favorite costume and be prepared to be frightened!!! Then join us for refreshments and dancing at the DRACULA BALL on Oct. 26 at the Renaissance Hotel immediately following the Pioneer performance.  \n  \nFor ticket information about this event\, and to RSVP for the DRACULA BALL contact the Sierra Nevada Ballet\, visit sierranevadaballet.org or call (775) 360-8663 \nThis production follows Jack Neal’s prediction of success for SNB when he wrote: “ at last a truly professional dance company emerging in the Reno metropolitan area”.    \n  \nVersatile and innovative\, Sierra Nevada Ballet is northern Nevada’s professional ballet company and incorporates the popular with the experimental.  Always a crowd pleaser\, the Ballet offers music and different types of dance from well known classical to new age contemporary original pieces.
