PBT Artists as Dracula Characters
With rehearsals for Michael Pink’s captivating Dracula based on Bram Stoker’s classic horror underway, we asked our artists what characters from the ballet most resembled their personalities. We gave them a few options:
Dracula: Dark, Charming, Powerful, Vengeful
Mina: Pure, Resourceful, Sweet, Noble
Lucy: Vivacious, Innocent, Easily-Manipulated, Playful
Renfield: Impulsive, Indecisive, Formidable, Obsessive
Jonathan Harker: Naive, Curious, Strong-willed, Conscientious
Dr. Van Helsing: Knowledgeable, Open-Minded, a Leader, Courageous
Arthur: Virtuous, Secure, Heroic, Driven
Quincey: Brave, Good-hearted, Youthful, Brash
Curious to see what these personalities look like on the stage? Join the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre at the Benedum Center from October 31st to November 2nd for a production filled with dramatic choreography, exquisite storytelling, opulent costumes, theatrical sets, a gripping score by Philip Feeney and haunting special effects that will keep you on the edge of your seat!
