Opera, live by satellite from The Royal Opera House
Rusalka, a water spirit, lives with her family in the pure waters of the forest lake. When she
falls in love with a Prince, she sacrifices her voice and leaves her home in the hope of
finding true love in a new world – a world that does not love her back.
Natalie Abrahami and Ann Yee create a poetic, contemporary new staging of Dvořák’s lyric
fairy tale, revealing our uneasy relationship with the natural world and humanity’s attempts to
own and tame it. Semyon Bychkov conducts an all-star cast featuring Asmik Grigorian
(Jenůfa) in the title role.
