A water nymph falls in love with a prince and wants to become human. Shes even willing to give up her voice, hoping to get closer to him. For his enchanting 1901 opera Rusalka, Czech composer Antonn Dvok was inspired by the Germanic folk tale of Undine, also the inspiration behind Hans Christian Andersens The Little Mermaid. His composition is poetic and sensual melancholy melodies with Rusalkas Song to the Moon as the operas highlight. With Czech conductor Jakub Hra leading the Concertgebouworkest and in a staging by German director Philipp Stlzl, the role of Rusalka is sung by soprano Eleanora Buratto. American tenor Brian Jagde is the prince. A timeless fairy tale about dreams, loneliness and the desperate yearning for wholeness.
