Michael Pink, British choreographer, director, dancer, and theater producer whose works and style have been referred to as “classical ballet for the 21st century,” is the longest serving Artistic Director of the Milwaukee Ballet. In February, his choreography will tell the classic tale of Dracula, Bram Stoker’s gothic mystery of bloodlust and suspense. Pink will also tell his own story, attending two programs to preview this production which has won international acclaim.

Also set to the score by Philip Feeney, Dracula will feature exquisite costumes and resplendent  scenery as each movement progresses the plot forward in this spine-chilling dance-drama. It’s a story most know. Superhuman powers, the evil of darkness, the lifeblood of romance, a young woman’s awakening passions, intrigue, deception and death all rolled into one of the most adapted myths men and women have told for centuries. It’s perfect in substance and style for the ballet. 7:30 p.m. Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, 237 7th St., Cultural District. (C.P.O.)
