Melbourne’s love affair with gothic tales takes centre stage as Dracula arrives in our CBD. This isn’t your usual ballet-expect a moody afternoon of high drama, striking choreography and music that hits hard. If you’re after an afternoon away from the everyday, this is your ticket.

Her Majesty’s Theatre is a grand old dame on Exhibition Street, known for its plush interiors and old-school charm. There’s a certain thrill in seeing a darker, edgier ballet here, especially when the city outside is just waking from its lunch break. Melbourne crowds tend to appreciate a bold take on classics, and this production should scratch that itch for something out of the ordinary. This is a treat for anyone drawn to dramatic storytelling, classical music with bite, or just a different spin on traditional ballet. It’s rare we get a production with such a powerhouse international cast in the middle of the day, making it perfect for those with flexible schedules or anyone keen to skip the evening rush.
