Philip Glass' Dracula world premiere

Another gem from the archives! The flyer for the world premiere at the Royal Festival Hall back in 1999. (I do have the full programme too.) I attended with my then girlfriend and we just happened, by chance, to be sitting behind my ex-manager and his wife, and neither of us had any idea the other would be at the concert. The Universal Studios film was shown with the new score perfomed live by Philip Glass on piano and the Kronos (string) Quartet. Ironically when the soundtrack was released, it was just of the Kronos Quartet playing the score. Subsequently there has been a release of Michael Riesman playing the score on solo piano, but no combination of the two!
