Paris, Opéra Bastille — Main Auditorium
About the Event
The Paris Opera presents Robert Carsen's subtle and inventive production of Dvořák's Rusalka.
Rusalka tells the moving story of a water spirit who, having sacrificed her voice out of love for a prince, finds herself rejected by both the human and the aquatic worlds, betrayed, damned and condemned to everlasting solitude. What better medium for this ruthless examination of human deception, with its sublime Song to the Moon, than opera?
