What would you sacrifice to be with the one you love? Rusalka gives up her voice for the Prince, only to find that in the human world she cannot say the very thing that matters most to her. At Smetana’s Litomyšl, the opera will be given in a concert performance, with the Armenian soprano Ruzan Mantashyan as Rusalka and the English tenor David Butt Philip as the Prince. The Czech Philharmonic will be led by its chief conductor, Semyon Bychkov.
Performed in the original Czech, with Czech and English surtitles.
