Ρουσάλκα (όπερα): Ένα συμβολικό παραμύθι που αφηγείται την τραγική ιστορία μιας απόκοσμης «νεράιδας» και τον παράφορο έρωτά της για έναν πρίγκιπα, που ολοκληρώνεται μόνο μέσα από το θάνατο
To celebrate the opening of Glyndebourne Festival 2023 we're sharing a free stream of Dvořák's Rusalka. The production stars Sally Matthews, who returns to Glyndebourne this summer in Dialogues des Carmélites.

About Rusalka
What would you sacrifice for love?
Water-nymph Rusalka is in love with a handsome Prince who comes each day to bathe in her forest pool. But if she wants to win him she must risk everything, giving up not only her immortality but also her voice.
Inspired by The Little Mermaid, Rusalka offers a poignant reimagining of the classic fairy tale. Rippled with silvery, watery beauty, Dvořák’s sublime score conjures a dappled world of shadowy half-light, of things unspoken and unseen. Rustic folk melodies meet courtly dances and magical love-music in this late Romantic masterpiece – an operatic fantasy that looks beyond the storybook world of happily ever-after to find truths that are powerfully and painfully human.
Sally Matthews takes the title role in this revival of Melly Still’s much-loved production, conducted by Robin Ticciati.
