In their opera Rusalka , which premiered in 1901, Antonín Dvořák and his librettist Jaroslav Kvapil mix the Slavic myth of the undead avenger from the water with fairytale characters such as Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué's Undine and Hans Christian Andersen's Little Mermaid against the background of the dark sagas of the poet Karel Jaromír Erben. The fascinating world of sound, the songful and highly dramatic moments made Rusalka one of the most successful Czech operas

Antonín Dvořák und sein Librettist Jaroslav Kvapil vermischen in ihrer 1901 uraufgeführten Oper Rusalka den slawischen Mythos der untoten Rächerin aus dem Wasser mit Märchenfiguren wie Friedrich de la Motte Fouqués Undine und Hans Christian Andersens kleine Seejungfrau vor dem Hintergrund der düsteren Sagen des Dichters Karel Jaromír Erben. Die faszinierenden Klangwelten, die liedhaften und hochdramatischen Momente ließen Rusalka zu einer der erfolgreichsten tschechischen Opern werden.
