ROH Live Screening: Rusalka
The Royal opera House
Wednesday 24 January 6.45pm
Rusalka, a water spirit, lives with her family in the pure waters of the forest lake. When she falls in love with a Prince, she sacrifices her voice and leaves her home in the hope of finding true love in a new world - a world that does not love her back.
Natalie Abrahami and Ann Yee create a poetic, contemporary new staging of Dvorak's lyric fairy tale, revealing our uneasy relationship with the natural world and humanity's attempts to own and tame it.
Semyon Bychkov conducts an all-star cast featuring Asmik Grigorian (Jenufa) in the title role.
Sung in Czech with English subtitles.
A Royal Opera House Live Screening.
