Antonín Dvorák’s Rusalka

Dvorák’s soulful take on the “Little Mermaid” story is a romantic fairy tale full of genuine emotion and lush melodies, including the title character’s enchanting “Song to the Moon.” First seen in Prague in 1901, Rusalka is one of the few Czech operas to hold a permanent place in the international repertoire.
