Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s 'The Little Mermaid', this fairytale opera tells the story of the luminous water nymph Rusalka. Seduced by a Prince, Rusalka abandons her family and everything she knows in the hope of finding true freedom. But all that glitters is not gold.

Dvořák’s score shimmers with sweeping romance and the many colours of Czech folk music, anchored by the spellbinding and much loved aria ‘Song to the Moon’.

A breathtaking production of grand scale, by the award-winning team who created La Traviata.
