rusalka

This probably best-known Czech opera is about longing, identity and love, about language and speechlessness. Dvořák's »Rusalka« is a lyrical fairy tale that musically enchants and ends bitterly. Rusalka is a mermaid, water sprite, mermaid and desires nothing more than human encounters. She is willing to give up a lot and, despite all warnings, leaves her element, the water. But in the human world she is not happy and wanders around restlessly until she has to make her greatest sacrifice.

The director and stage designer Daniela Kerck stages »Rusalka« together with the singer Olesya Golovneva, who also sings the title role. Philipp Pointner is the musical director.

English

In dieser wohl bekanntesten tschechischen Oper geht es um Sehnsucht, Identität und Liebe, um Sprache und Sprachlosigkeit. Dvořáks »Rusalka« ist ein lyrisches Märchen, das musikalisch verzaubert und bitter endet. Rusalka ist Nixe, Wassergeist, Meerjungfrau und wünscht sich nichts sehnlicher als menschliche Begegnungen. Dafür ist sie bereit, vieles aufzugeben und verlässt, allen Warnungen zum Trotz, ihr Element, das Wasser. Doch in der Menschenwelt wird sie nicht glücklich und irrt ruhelos umher, bis sie ihr größtes Opfer bringen muss.

Die Regisseurin und Bühnenbildnerin Daniela Kerck inszeniert »Rusalka« gemeinsam mit der Sängerin Olesya Golovneva, die auch die Titelpartie singt. Die Musikalische Leitung hat Philipp Pointner.
