2. Spanish Dracula with Live Orchestra

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.

Additional guest soloists include violinist Javier Casalla and accordionist Michael Ward-Bergeman, with live sound effects created by foley artist Joanna Fang and foley mixer Blake Collins.
