About

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 Dvorák’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 in the title role.

Grigorian’s dramatic commitment is never in doubt...Bychkov conducts it wonderfully well, too, his spacious speeds allowing both emotion and detail to register fully. There are moments of yearning here as intense as anything in Wagner.
