Rusalka (Teatro Real)

We are excited to feature a summer series of classic European opera films. Giving our patrons a taste of what’s to come as we expand our diverse artistic offerings!

Rusalka (Teatro Real) with Asmik Grigorian and Eric Cutler – The libretto of the most well-known opera by Antonín Dvo?ak is inspired by the Czech version of the Central European folktale, Undine (1811) or The Little Mermaid (1837). The original story is perfectly translated into a musical score full of color and magic, expertly conducted by Ivor Bolton, while Christof Loy’s stage direction and scenography by Johannes Leiacker beautifully complement Klevis Elmazaj's masterful choreography. The mesmerizing Asmik Grigorian brings vibrant life to the title role as Eric Cutler and Karita Mattila step smoothly into the royal personas of prince and princess.
