Program notes
Witness Dvořák’s beloved and engrossing opera Rusalka from the stage of Madrid’s Teatro Real! A successful production requires a highly gifted soprano, and the mesmerizing Asmik Grigorian is more than up to the challenge, bringing vibrant life to the title role as Eric Cutler and Karita Mattila step smoothly into the royal personas of prince and princess. The music of Dvořák’s masterwork is expertly conducted by Ivor Bolton, while Christof Loy’s stage direction and scenography by Johannes Leiacker beautifully complement Klevis Elmazaj's expert choreography.
