Dvořák’s beloved opera performed by the Brno National Theatre. The excellent Czech company stages the romantic tale of sacrifice, betrayal and forgiveness Rusalka is Czech composer Antonín Dvořák’s most beloved opera and one of the most achingly beautiful of all operatic works. Janáček Opera of the National Theatre Brno, Czech Republic, presents this national treasure of Czech operatic repertoire. ​The tale, a mix of Czech mythology and the classic tale of the Little Mermaid, paints the tragedy of Rusalka, a water nymph who strikes a sorry deal with a witch in order to follow her love for a human, a prince. Under the musical direction of Jaroslav Kyzlink and the dramatic leadership of innovative theatre director Vladimír Morávek, the new staging is a vital fairy tale, “a mystery about love, defeat and salvation.” The work has been increasingly recognized as a major part of Dvořák’s oeuvre; a celebration of love stronger than death, and forgiveness stronger than hate.​
