Rusalka by Dvořák, -tól (2023/2023), Rendezte Paul-Émile Fourny, Karmester Kaspar Zehnder, Opéra-Théâtre, Metz, France

The nymph Rusalka asks the witch Jezibaba to give her human form so that she can win the heart of the prince who comes to bathe in the lake. In return, she will lose her ability to speak and will be damned if her love is unrequited. The Prince, seduced, takes him to the castle but he ends up getting tired of his silence and falls in love with a foreign princess. Inspired by Andersen's The Little Mermaid , the most famous Czech opera in the repertoire is a magnificent hymn to impossible love, immortalized by the famous Song of the Moon.
