Rating:  - An unconventional take on a fairy tale
Thanks to movies and TV there are thousands of people who know the soprano's aris from the first act. I wonder how many people who have bought a CD of the complete opera were able to keep at the entire score. Certainly it pays off with repeated listenings but Dvorak's own assessment of this gifts for the stage were probably correct: he was not a natural born opera composer.
I had a CD of the opera but truth to tell I was rarely inspired to take it down and listen to it. With the death ... Read More

la production est étonnante. Robert Carsen a du génie. Que d'eau et que de miroirs! Il y a de quoi s'y noyer!
Franchement, je ne connaissais de cet opéra que l'air de Rusalka, chanté par tous les sopranos du monde, en récital ou sur CD. Le rôle est long, pas toujours intéressant vocalement, et Miss Fleming a bien du courage de s'y atteler, les génies et les princes charmants lui en seront reconnaissants, quant aux autres...ils oublieront et se replongeront dans des livrets plus abordables. ...

Rating: - Rusalka! Rusalka! where for art thou Rusalka!
Rusalka is one of my favourite Czech operas. Dvorak's scoring is magnificent; edging towards the Wagnerian side of the scale; combining light and lyrical with dramatic overtones.

Sergei Larin's helder-tenor voice ripe for the picking. Laisssa Diadkova has always been a favourite of mine and here she displays why, both vocally and artistically. Franz Hawlata's ... Read More
Rating:  - Rusalka
Musically entirely acceptable, but visually a mess. A gross example of directorial indulgence. The modern dress presentation is ludicrously at odds with the fairytale story.
Rating: - Dvorak, Carsen, Conlon, FLEMING, Urbanova, Diadkova, Larin, Opera de Paris FRANZ HAWALATA---ALL TO DIE FOR!
I have read all the reviews and accept 99.9% of what has already been said. This DVD recording of "Rusalka" is truly, "A work to die for!"
I, too, bought this film because of Renee Fleming; having heard her Hymn to the Moon on various CD recordings. As for Dvorak, familiarity with his symphonic works were always impressive. The great surprise was the powerful score of Dvorak' Rusalka---almost Wagnerian. Wagner's influence on Dvorak is very much evident; yet Dvorak retains his individuality. Opera and ... Read More
