Rusalka at the Fredonia Opera House!


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 02/25/2017
Live via satellite in high definition from NYC's Metropolitan Opera! The title character of Rusalka is a water nymph. She's immortal; and she falls in love with a mortal man -- a prince who finds himself repeatedly drawn to the quiet lake where Rusalka lives. Rusalka decides to give up her immortality to pursue true love. But, her prince no hero. He abandons Rusalka, leaving her to a hellish life of eternal solitude. Of course, there's much more to the story -- the truly romantic part. The prince realizes his mistake, seeks Rusalka out, and willingly makes his own, ultimate sacrifice, to restore her immortality.

Soprano Kristine Opolais stars in the role that helped launch her international career, the mythical Rusalka, who sings the haunting "Song to the Moon." Of course, there's much more to the story -- the truly romantic part. The prince realizes his mistake, seeks Rusalka out, and willingly makes his own, ultimate sacrifice, to restore her immortality.

Director Mary Zimmerman brings her wondrous theatrical imagination to Anton Dvorak's fairy tale of love and longing, rejection and redemption.  Brandon Jovanovich, Jamie Barton, Katarina Dalayman and Eric Owens complete the all-star cast.  Mark Elder conducts.

The production runs four hours, five minutes with two intermissions.
