OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION
While Bela Lugosi was vamping it up in front of the cameras by day, a night crew shot an alternate version of Dracula in Spanish — same sets, same story, new cast. This second incarnation of the classic, starring Carlos Villarías, was largely forgotten until a recent renaissance, and many now hail it as the superior version.
See it on the big screen (with English subtitles) as Resident Conductor Lina González-Granados leads the LA Opera Orchestra in a live performance of a new LAO-commissioned score by Academy Award-winning composer Gustavo Santaolalla (The Last of Us, Brokeback Mountain), who’ll also star as featured guitar soloist. Orchestrated by David Campbell.
Additional guest artists include accordionist Michael Ward-Bergeman, with live sound effects created by Foley artists Leslie Bloome and Ryan Collison.
