After a brawl in Notre-Dame de Paris, monster hunter Van Helsing kills Mr. Hyde a year later. Cardinal Jinette orders him to go to TransylVania and destroy Dracula. He must also protect the last members of an ancient Romanian family, the Valerious, whose ancestor vowed that if his descendants did not kill Dracula, they would be condemned to Purgatory. The two encounter Frankenstein’s monster, who holds the true key to completing Dracula’s plans. Dracula is Anna’s ancestor’s son, and he is imprisoned within an icy fortress hidden behind a large walled map of Transylvania. Only a werewolf can kill Dracula because he has a cure for lycanthropy. Van Helsing kills Dracula and his children by biting their throats but kills Anna inadvertently as she administers the cure.
Silvia Colloca Career
Colloca is an opera-trained mezzo-soprano who worked as a musical theatre performer in Italy before pursuing a career in film. Silvia Colloca received glowing reviews from the Australian press for her performance as Orfeo in Shannon Murphy’s 2015 Spectrum Now production of Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice. Colloca’s performance was lauded by Diana Simmonds in Stage Noise: “Colloca’s rich yet pure and powerful mezzo soprano and dramatic acting range are ideally suited to the decision to make Orfeo an ambiguous and androgynous figure. In the early scenes, she projects all of the masculine and feminine strengths, as well as unabashed emotion, making the tragedy immediately palpable.”
Colloca made her debut as The Queen in Opera Queensland’s newly commissioned opera “Snow White,” which was performed during the Brisbane Festival in 2016. Silvia Colloca’s performance once again won the hearts of theatregoers and critics. Colloca’s work was described in the Sydney Morning Herald as “Silvia Colloca is outstanding as the mother; her sexiness and vulnerability are beautifully intertwined throughout the piece, and she effortlessly navigates the highs and lows that her character is endowed with. Her eventual breakdown is entertaining to watch “. Silvia is also credited as a show’s producer, creator, and writer. She launched her own YouTube channel and collaborated with Marion Grasby in 2017. They collaborated on the highly successful show “Wok X Pot,” which debuted in late 2018.
