January 2027 will draw blood – Dracula is coming to Bangkok

Bangkok's theatre calendar just got a gothic makeover. Dracula, the sell-out ballet production that captivated audiences across Australia and New Zealand, is bringing its dark romance, big-stage drama and world-class dance pedigree to Muangthai Rachadalai Theatre for eight performances from January 19-24 2027.

Better still, Bangkok is not just another stop. It is the final bite.The production begins its international run in the UK, with dates at the London Palladium (May 24-30), Sadler's Wells (Jun 2-7) and Edinburgh's Festival Theatre (Jun 12-14), before heading to San Francisco's Orpheum Theatre (Jul 3-12), Singapore's Esplanade (Jul 15-19), Sydney's State Theatre (Sep 22-27) and Melbourne's Her Majesty's Theatre (Oct 1-25). Bangkok then closes the curtain on the world tour in January, giving the city the grand finale.

Choreographed by Joel Burke, the production draws from a sweeping musical catalogue, from Bach, Rachmaninov and Mozart to Liszt, Mussorgsky, Mendelssohn, Saint-Saëns and Debussy, woven together with an original score by Emmy Award-winning composer Jason Fernandez. 

The cast includes alumni of the Mariinsky, English National, Stuttgart and Australian Ballet companies. Expect high drama, sharpened shadows and a two-hour performance including a 20-minute interval.

Critics have already leaned into the darkness, with The Scoop calling it ‘a gothic spectacle you can't miss’ and Otago describing it as ‘ballet at its darkest – and possibly best.’ 

Presented by BIG Live in association with United Airlines, Dracula runs at Muangthai Rachadalai Theatre from January 19-24 2027. Ticket prices and booking details have not yet been announced, but you can register for updates at bigliveco.com.
