Opera in three acts. Libretto by Jaroslav Kvapil after Friedrich Heinrich Carl de la Motte-Fouqué. Premièred on 31 March 1901 at the National Theatre of Prague
A fantastic and wonderful opera, Rusalka is without a doubt one of the gem's of the Slavic operatic repertoire. A major but too rarely played work!
Rusalka, a young water nymph, falls in love with a Prince from the human world. Despite the warnings of her father Ondin, she only has one desire: to leave her world and marry him. To do so, she accepts the contract offered to her by the old Jezibaba: if she wants to live in the human world, she must give up her voice. Rusalka accepts this sacrifice. But, very soon, the Prince leaves her for another woman, the foreign Princess …
In this dreamlike fable where the cruelty of the human world is staged with no holds barred, the great Czech composer unleashes his bewitchingly beautiful music – which conductor Elena Schwarz will defend with the passion for which she is known, at the head of an exceptional cast. With their unique sense of the stage, Jean-Philippe Clarac and Olivier Delœuil will offer us a reading which is as poetic as it is personal.
