New Opera Singapore Brings RUSALKA to the Victoria Theatre This Weekend

Regarded by some as being Dvořák’s finest opera, Rusalka (1900) tells the story of how the water nymph Rusalka turns to a witch to help her become human so that the Prince will fall in love with her. But Rusalka quickly learns that if she is to be with him, she is to risk everything, learning the hard way that true love can come at a terrible price. The timeless question remains - how far are we willing to go in the name of Love?

Directed by New Opera Singapore’s Artistic Director Ms. Jeong Ae Ree, with music direction by Chan Wei Shing and Chorus Master Chong Wai Lun, New Opera Singapore’s production of ‘Rusalka’ will premiere on the Singapore stage at Victoria Theatre on 19 August 2023, 7.30pm and 20 August 2023, 3pm.
