In May 2018, Resonance Works presented the Pittsburgh premiere of Dvořák’s Rusalka, the story of a water nymph who sacrifices everything for the love of a human Prince.  Known for its famous “Song to the Moon”, Rusalka is a mythical masterpiece that draws inspiration from Slavic mythology (with many similarities to Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid.)      As this was also the first production in Pittsburgh of an opera in Czech, we made wonderful connections with the strong Slavic community in the area, including the honorary Czech consulate.  Our Rusalka received not only critical acclaim, but also a large number of outstanding audience comments about our cast and the production overall.  As this piece is a relative rarity, all of our cast were making their role debuts. Stage director Andrew Nienaber, scenic designer Susan Perry, and lighting designer Kate Devlin Matz met the challenge of creating both a human and supernatural world with great effect.
