by Katricia Lang - Jan 28, 2016
The visually appetizing lyrical opera RUSALKA hits the Houston Grand Opera stage as part of the Glyndebourne Tour. Composed by Antonin Dvorak and written by poet Jaroslav Kvapil in 1900, RUSALKA is a rather tragic fairytale about an ill-fated love affair between a water sprite (or rusalka) and a prince.

Infoblatt zur Premiere von 'Rusalka'
by Robert Diamond - Jan 13, 2014
Das Ma?rchen u?ber ein Wesen aus einer fremden Welt, das sich in einen Menschen verliebt, seine Heimat verla?sst und an der Wankelmu?tigkeit des Geliebten scheitert, ist so alt wie oft bearbeitet worden. Aus unterschiedlichen Quellen kompilierte der tschechische Dichter Jaroslav Kvapil eine neue Version des Stoffes fu?r ein Libretto, das Antoni?n Dvor?a?k vertonte. Im Zentrum eine scho?ne Nixe: Rusalka. Das vorletzte Werk des Komponisten entstand um 1900 und ist musikalisch ebenso der tschechischnationalen Schule verbunden wie auch in einzelnen Aspekten dem Musikdrama Richard Wagners. Nach 25 Jahren kommt es an der Wiener Staatsoper nun zu einer Neuproduktion dieses wichtigen zentralen osteuropa?ischen Werks.
