    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 11, 2011 Contact: Erika Overturff, (402) 541-6946 ROMANTIC, CHILLING 'DRACULA' OPENS BALLET NEBRASKA'S SECOND SEASON OMAHA -- He's evil, drinks blood, and sleeps in a coffin. Could there really be more to Count Dracula than those Halloween clichés? Yes, says Ballet Nebraska in Dracula, its season-opening performance at 8 pm October 28 at Omaha's Orpheum Theater. The ballet portrays the vampire count as both a monster and as a man with emotions and vulnerabilities, choreographer Winthrop Corey said. Corey, artistic director of Alabama's Mobile Ballet, said he began the creative process by reading both Bram Stoker's classic 1897 horror novel and scholars' commentaries about it. His research raised a question in his mind: What made Dracula who he was? "Bram Stoker never told us how Dracula got to be a vampire," he said. "I say that he is a man who, through circumstances we don't know, is turned into a monster. Yet he is still a man inside this monster's body, who can kill, but who can also fall in love. And therein lies the ballet; I designed it around that." To develop the choreography, Corey said, he started with the relationship between Count Dracula and the novel's two key female characters: the flirtatious Lucy and her more insightful best friend, Mina. "What I did was narrow it down to three characters -- Lucy, Mina and Dracula -- and the difference between his relationship with Lucy and his relationship with Mina," he said. "One of them he kills and makes a vampire bride; the other one he actually falls in love with.
