RUSALKA
Music by Antonín Dvorák
A mermaid's journey for human love.
The water nymph Rusalka wants nothing more than to live on land with the Prince. To get her wish, she agrees to a fateful spell by a witch. In Dvorák’s hands, the timeless fairy tale of a woman who trades her voice for love is rendered in a powerful, otherworldly fable—a drama of shadowy depths, fervent love songs and endings that may not be what they seem. Enter an enchanting world full of immortal spirits, dark magic and haunting melodies.
Production New to San Francisco Opera
Libretto by Jaroslav Kvapil
Sung in Czech with English supertitles
