Rusalka by Dvořák, Lua 02 Beal 2022, Ó (2022/2022), Faoi stiúir Natalie Abrahami, Seoltóir Semyon Bychkov, Royal Opera House, London, United Kingdom

Rusalka, a water nymph, 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.
