Sink your teeth into Atlanta Ballet's 'Dracula'

ATLANTA -- A haunting ballet will return to the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre in February.

Michael Pink's Dracula is back by popular demand and more seductive than ever.

The production remains faithful to Bram Stoker's 1897 novel. Its score, performed by the Atlanta Ballet Orchestra, is woven with the sounds of heartbeats and wolf howls to create an eerie mood.

Dracula will run Feb. 8-16. Tickets start at $20 and can be purchased at atlantaballet.com.

The Atlanta Ballet recommends Dracula for audiences 13 and older.
