In the spring of 2023, the Czech national treasure Rusalka will be performed by Dvořák in Bergen for the first time. The opera is also one of the absolute favorites of BNO's opera director, who himself conducts the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, soloists and Edvard Grieg Kor.

The well-known directing group behind the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics in Barcelona, ​​La Fura dels Baus, interprets the opera about the water nymph Rusalka who transforms into a human.

Norwegian and foreign soloists

Gullberg Jensen has hand-picked both Norwegian and foreign soloists for Rusalka:

In the Grieg Hall, the Swedish soprano Malin Byström, known from strong title roles as Salome, Jenůfa and Tosca, will debut as Rusalka. And the energetic witch Ježibaba is from Bergen: The mezzo-soprano Hege Høisæter has extensive experience both from classical roles at the Norwegian Opera & Ballet, and as a prominent performer of contemporary music.

The opera director conducts
Rusalka by Antonín Dvořák is a national treasure in the Czech Republic, and belongs to the opera's core repertoire, but in this country this romantic and melodic opera is still a rarely performed gem: In fact, it was Gullberg Jensen himself who conducted Rusalka when the Norwegian Opera & Ballet performed the opera for the first time in Norway in 2009, with Solveig Kringlebotn in the title role. This was also the start of the first season in the new opera building in Bjørvika, and the performance was broadcast live on NRK2.

Later, Gullberg Jensen conducted Rusalka at the Zurich Opera, the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma and the Vienna State Opera.
