Lyric fairy tale in three acts (1901)
New Production! Captured live from Naples’ splendid San Carlo Theatre – the world’s oldest continuously running public opera venue – where it opened the company’s theatrical season, acclaimed director Dmitri Tcherniakov stages a new production of Dvořák’s beautiful, supremely romantic opera about a water sprite Rusalka (here soprano-of-the-moment Asmik Grigorian, who has performed the role to great acclaim at the Royal Opera House and Teatro Real) who longs to find love.
Maestro Dan Ettinger conducts a terrific cast that also includes exciting young British tenor Adam Smith, Ekaterina Gubanova, Anita Rachvelishvili and Gábor Bretz.
