Rusalka: Presented by Salt Marsh Opera

Water nymphs. A bargain with a witch. The pain of a love lost. Sound vaguely familiar?

Antonin Dvorak’s beloved Rusalka, based on slavic folklore and Hans Christian Anderson’s 1837 fairy tale, The Little Mermaid, appears on the Salt Marsh Opera stage this October for the first time ever!

This is the tragic story about a water nymph who sacrifices her voice to a witch, Jezibaba, to become human and marry a prince. After he rejects her for a foreign princess, she becomes a cursed sprite, ultimately killing the Prince with a fatal kiss.

Beautiful staging, costumes, a full orchestra and more will submerge you in this classic and timeless story.
