The legend lives on, and it’s more haunting than ever. This October, Ballet Pensacola dares audiences to step into the shadows with its chilling production of Dracula with all new
choreography.
In this reimagined tale of temptation and terror, Dracula reawakens, but not as you remember him. Ballet Pensacola unveils a thrilling reinvention that fuses elegance with eerie gothic horror, transporting audiences into a world where beauty and danger entwine.
Featuring original, pulse-pounding choreography by Guest Choreographer Michael Pappalardo of Canyon Concert Ballet, this must-see production delivers sweeping romantic duets, explosive
ensemble work, and an atmosphere thick with suspense. Every movement is infused with hypnotic beauty and raw power, creating an experience that is as breathtaking as it is
unforgettable.
“This isn’t just a ballet, it’s dark, daring, and unlike anything you’ve seen before,” said Pappalardo “Dracula is a journey into the unknown, and we invite audiences to enter if they
dare.”
Performances will be held October 17–19 and 24–26, 2025, at The Center (400 S Jefferson St).
Tickets can be purchased online by visiting www.balletpensacola.org, by visiting The Center
Box Office, or by calling (850)432-2042.
To celebrate the production, Ballet Pensacola will also host Twilight & Temptations on October 15 & 22 at The Center (400 S Jefferson St). This special 21+ event promises an evening of intrigue with signature cocktails, live piano, ghost tours, delectable bites, and a rare behind-the-scenes first look at the Dracula production.
