Antonin Dvořák, Rusalka in Barcelona

O wydarzeniu

Experience an extraordinary production of Antonin Dvořák's Rusalka with a star‐studded cast, at the Gran Teatre del Liceu, in the heart of Barcelona.

Herheim's production is the exception that proves the rule. So powerful and personal is his concept of drama that he successfully weaves Dvořák's Symbolist universe into a fascinating world of his own. As a result, his version is one of the most sought‐after by opera houses throughout the world. 

Of all Czech operas, Rusalka (Prague, 1901) — alongside Smetana's Bartered Bride — is the best known and loved. This sentimental, symbolic tale focuses on a water nymph who takes on human nature out of love and pays the terrible consequences, an ancient motif of Nordic legend that was a great favourite among the Romantics. Despite certain Wagnerian influences, the exquisite music features ballads, songs and dances with traditional Czech melodies.

Camilla Nylund, Klaus Florian Vogt, Ildiko Komlosi, Emily Magee and others.
