Dracula is at least as big as the vampire myth itself. Bram Stoker's interpretation of the Dark Count, the drama aboutJonathan Harker and his fiance Mina, who try to escape his spell, and the vampire hunter Professor van Helsing arethe stuff of legends . Frank Wildhorn's Dracula - The Musical - with a libretto by Don Black and Christopher Hampton- spins this one further. More than just the stations of an increasingly risky chase, it explores the great emotionalrealms of its plagued characters. It's a classic good vs. evil story that's played out not only in context but also in theprotagonist himself: In this love story between vampire and his prey, Dracula is both romantic hero and villain. Herblood soaked heart are the songs that make up this live recording. After productions in California, on Broadway andin Graz - where the ensemble was immortalized on CD in 2007 - the vampires are now up to mischief in Ulm'sWilhelmsburg. It's a fantastic setting, recorded as being completed just fifty years before the publication of BramStoker's cult novel. For one summer - and this new concert recording that brings the dead back to life - she toocomes to life: an integral part of this epic of silver bullets, love vows and bloodlust.
