Rusalka - New Jersey Opera Theater

Dvorak’s “Rusalka” is a tragic lyrical fairy tale of a water nymph who longs to become human when she falls in love with a prince she finds bathing in her lake. In the opera’s most famous and poignant aria, “Song to the Moon,” she begs the glowing planet to tell the prince of her love.

Desperate, and against her father’s advice, Rusalka seeks out the witch Jezibaba to make her wish come true, but the reality is very different than her dreams.

Based on the book “The Little Mermaid” by Hans Christian Andersen, “Rusalka” is a dramatic retelling of the original 1836 story.
