Rusalka

In the heart of the Vyšehrad fortifications, experience a drama of love and betrayal set against the backdrop of two worlds – the world of nature and the world of humans.
This intimate production is built on the performances of outstanding vocal talents, led by Tereza Mátlová (Rusalka), Daniel Hůlka (Water Goblin), Peter Berger (Prince), and Vladimír Chmelo (Gamekeeper).


Thanks to the chamber accompaniment of piano and harp, the singers are clearly audible, allowing Jaroslav Kvapil’s fairy-tale libretto to shine. Audiences can savor even the subtlest nuances of this brilliant work.
The traditional staging, deeply respectful of the composer’s intent, has been adapted to be accessible and appealing to today’s audiences – from families with children to the most discerning opera-goers.
And all this just a short distance from the final resting place of Antonín Dvořák.
