Rusalka is the tragic story of the water nymph who longs to walk on the ground as a human draws on the richness of Czech mythology: a prince, a princess, a water goblin and a witch are the other main characters, mixing the supernatural and the mortal.
Jossi Wieler and Sergio Morabito's contemporary interpretation sets the opera in a seedy backstreet world of today to throw into sharp relief the dark wit and darker emotions of the opera's story of love, desire and despair.
Please note: The opera is sung in Czech with English surtitles.
