Based on Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid, Rusalka is a modern-day fairytale of a water nymph who yearns to be part of the human world to earn the love of a prince. Invoking the help of a manipulative witch, she is bound by strict conditions that will lead her to discover the meaning of true love
First performed by Opera North in 2003, Olivia Fuchs’ award-winning production returns with many of its original cast, including Irish soprano, Giselle Allen as Rusalka, Susannah Glanville as The Foreign Princess and Richard Angus as The Water Sprite. Internationally acclaimed Richard Berkeley-Steele makes his Opera North debut as The Prince.
Suffused with a haunting score, famed for Rusalka’s poignant ‘Song to the Moon,’ and conducted by Oliver von Dohnanyi, (The Bartered Bride, 1998) Rusalka offers an altogether spell-binding experience.
Sung in English
