Dracula: The Spanish Version

While Bela Lugosi was vamping it up in from 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 Villarias, 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 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 a featured performer.
