Rusalka

Rusalka

Lyric Opera
20 N. Wacker Drive Chicago

Rusalka, a water sprite, falls in love with a human prince and strikes an impossible bargain to enter his world. But this is no Disney mermaid. Dark consequences flood Dvorak's moonlit fairy tale, along with music of acute longing, hope and disillusionment. Rusalka's "Song to the Moon" might just break your heart. With memorable Lyric productions such as Elektra, Manon, Julius Caesar and Billy Budd under his belt, you can expect another winner from director Sir David McVicar. Sung in Czech with projected English texts.
