Rusalka at War Memorial Opera House

Rusalka, Antonn Dvoks enchanting 1901 fairytale about a water nymph who trades her voice for love, returns to the War Memorial Opera House stage in a thoughtfully conceived and brilliantly executed (Chicago Tribune) production by director David McVicar. In her first portrayal of the title role, soprano Rachel Willis-Srensen heads a star-studded cast that includes tenor Brandon Jovanovich as the Prince, mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton as the witch Jeibaba, Kristinn Sigmundsson as Vodnk and soprano Sarah Cambidge as the Foreign Princess. South Korean Maestra Eun Sun Kim makes her Company debut leading the San Francisco Opera Orchestra in Rusalka.
