Rusalka is the story of the mermaid forbidden to mix with mortals, and the handsome prince for whom she risks everything. Together they embark on a love affair that sees her sacrifice her home and her immortality. Dvorak's rapturous score, presented here in an acclaimed chamber version, is crowned by the poignant Song To The Moon.
English Touring Opera's exciting new interpretation of Rusalka takes the audience to the misty cloud forests and parched plains of Haiti. Through the witchcraft of a Mambo, the innocent forest girl travels to the prince's rich plantation – and these two worlds are both changed forever.
Donna Bateman leads a cast that includes some of the finest opera singers from the UK.
This is a new production of Rusalka by James Conway and associate director Tom Daley, conducted by Alex Ingram, with designs by Paul Wills.
