"Dracula," featuring music by Wojciech Kilar and choreography by Krzysztof Pastor, quickly became a ballet sensation. The production was specially commissioned by West Australian Ballet and had its world premiere in September 2018 in Perth. Since April 2022, audiences have been able to watch the ballet on the stage of the Polish National Opera.

The 17th century, the reign of King Władysław IV. The half-siblings of Stanisław and Anna Oświęcim have been linked by love since childhood. During the feast, a conflict arises between Stanisław and Zebrzydowski, Anna's competitor. Stanisław is wounded in a duel. Anna bandages him in her room. There is a rapprochement between them. Stanisław leaves for the Vatican to obtain a dispensation from the Pope for a wedding with Anna. Meanwhile, Anna repents, misses, prays and refuses to eat. Not a single word is spoken in the movie. The mood is built by Karłowicz's music.
