Did you get to see the Dracula ballet currently on tour? If you’d like to start your spooky season in style, there are still tickets left for San Francisco but only through July 12th. Our fun friends were not the only group in goth garb,, and we enjoyed our evening!
We loved the castle set with the giant stained glass window,, the athleticism of the dancers, and the fluttering ghostly girls on tiptoes who really looked like they were floating around the stage! To me the plot felt like Dracula fanfic since 3 characters had the same names with the same basic relationships, but the story was totally different than any other Dracula. The recorded music was some original arrangements between a lot of “goth’s greatest hits goes classical,” with the audience laughing when the organ started Toccata & Fugue in Dm, but all that music remains popular for a reason. Mina’s main dress starts as pink wedding night lingerie then changes to white during Act 2 through the curtain call, but I swear it’s an homage to Lily Munster! Personally I took the chance for Haute Halloweenwear of a new black velvet dress with dramatically long sleeves, filigree bat earrings with a drop of red crystal added, and silver, black & red dragon necklace that got lots of compliments from strangers. ❤️ 🖤
