Through the tragic fate of the opera&#39;s heroine, the production raises questions about the impossible connection between the invisible world and the world of people, born of technological progress, alienation from nature and consumerist passions in human existence. Dvo\u0159\u00e1k&#8217;s work is not just a romantic tale of impossible love, but a philosophical reflection on man and the world he tries to subdue. Following Krassimira Stoyanova&#8217;s debut in the role at the Zurich Opera House, the critics commented: \u201cEverything remains in the shadow of the magnificent soprano voice of Krassimira Stoyanova \u2013 a voice full of warmth and expressiveness, tender and light like nature, intonationally impeccably pure, with a free-flowing, subtly trembling vibrato. In \u201cRusalka\u201d, the Bulgarian singer is a perfect choice for \u201cRusalka!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rusalka Premiere Opera by Anton\u00edn Dvo\u0159\u00e1k First published by: B\u00e4renreiter Praha s.r.o.
