New Opera Singapore Brings RUSALKA to the Victoria Theatre This Weekend

Regarded by some as being Dvořák’s finest opera, Rusalka (1900) tells the story of how the water nymph Rusalka turns to a witch to help her become human so that the Prince will fall in love with her. But Rusalka quickly learns that if she is to be with him, she is to risk everything, learning the hard way that true love can come at a terrible price. The timeless question remains - how far are we willing to go in the name of Love?
