Notes

There have been many screen versions of the classic tale of Dracula, but none more famous or enduring as the 1931 original. Starring Béla Lugosi as the world’s most popular vampire and directed by horror specialist Tod Browning, Universal Studios’ Dracula creates an eerie, chilling mood that has rarely been realized since.

The famous American composer Philip Glass was asked to create the first original music score for the re-release of Dracula on video. In this early "talkie", there was no musical score and few sound effects. Browning relied on Lugosi’s legendary Hungarian accent. Glass composed the intense and sweeping Dracula score for the Kronos Quartet, the pioneering American ensemble hailed as "classical music’s own Fab Four" by Rolling Stone. It is one of the most intense and atmospheric scores Philip Glass has ever written for film. Returning to chill the senses in new ways, Dracula: The Music and Film is an incomparable evening of new music and a unique reinvention of an American cinematic classic – the perfect marriage of the live and undead.
