Another chance to hear soprano Ren茅e Fleming in one of her signature roles as Dvorak's Rusalka at the New York Metropolitan Opera in 2014. The water nymph Rusalka falls in love with a prince when he comes to swim in her lake. The witch Jezibaba agrees to let her become human, but warns her that if she doesn't find love she will be damned and the man she loves will die. (Spoiler alert: this is opera.) Alongside Ren茅e Fleming, Dvorak's lyrical opera stars Piotr Beczala as her doomed Prince.
Presented by Mary-Jo Heath and Ira Siff.
