Summary:
Since her 2013 debut as Magda in La Rondine, Kristine Opolais has become familiar to Met audiences in the works of Giacomo Puccini. In 2016, the soprano's performances as the title heroine of Dvořák's Rusalka allowed her to show off another of her signature roles. In a new production by Mary Zimmerman, this classic tale of a water sprite yearning to become a human to find love starts as a whimsical fairytale but quickly develops into a heartbreaking tragedy. On the podium, Sir Mark Elder leads a stirring account of Dvořák's score, drawing a rich palette of musical colors from the Met Orchestra. Tenor Brandon Jovanovich gives a virile performance as the infatuated Prince, alongside bass Eric Owens as Rusalka's father, the Water Gnome, and Jamie Barton as the devilish sorceress Ježibaba.

Opening credits
Introduction by Matthew Polenzani
Overture
Hou, hou, hou, stojí mĕsíc vodou
I pĕknĕ vítám
Hastrmánku, tatíčku!
Semčasto přichází a v objetí mé stoupá
Mĕsíčku nanebi hlubokém (Song to the Moon)
Tavoda studi, studi, Ježibabo!
Staletá moudrost tvá všechno ví
Tvoje moudrost všechno tuší
Čury mury fuk
Jel mladý lovec, jel a jel
Ustaňte v lovu, na hrad vrafte se
Sestry, jedna schází z nás!
Introduction to Act II by Matthew Polenzani
Jářku, jářku, klouĉe milé
U nás v lese straší
Již týden dlíš mi po boku
Zda na chvíli princ vzpomene si přec
Ballet
Bĕda! Bĕda! Ubohá Rusalko bledá
Kvétiny bílé po cestĕ
Rusalko, znášmne, znáš?
Vidíš je, vidíš? Jsou tu zas
Introduction to Act III by Matthew Polenzani
Necitelná vodní moci
Aj, aj? Už jsi se navrátila?
Vyrvána životu v hlubokou samotu
Že se bojíš? Třesky, plesky
Mám, zlaté vlásky mám
Bílá moje lani!
Milácku, znáš mne, znáš?
Líbej mne, líbej, mírmi prej
