Rusalka, a water spirit, 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 Dvoř�k�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.
