Rusalka

Superstar soprano Renée Fleming returns to the Met for one of her specialty roles: the title character of Rusalka, Dvorak's ravishingly lyrical adaptation of the Little Mermaid legend. The superb supporting cast includes Emily Magee, Dolora Zajick, Piotr Beczala and John Relyea, with Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducting. Nothing revolutionary—just the Met at its best.
