Farewell to Rusalka!

Picture

In collaboration with Danceworks MKE, February 14th - 23rd

 Danceworks Performance MKE and Milwaukee Opera Theatre took the stage to revisit the tale of Rusalka: a water nymph determined to find love by way of magic, featuring singing sprites, dancing goblins, and Jason Powell as The Moon. Rooted in Slavic folklore, and packed with ravishing music, Rusalka remains Dvořák’s best known opera. The tale’s classic arias accompanied a modern restructuring of the story by Powell with singing in Czech, speaking in English, and dancing in…dance!
