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.

Joining the celebration will be Chief Judge of the State of New York and the New York Court of Appeals, Honorable Rowan D. Wilson and historian and philanthropist Elihu Rose who will present the awards at JHC's annual Soirée. Special guests will include David Blight, Frank Cogliano, Joanne Freeman, and Beverly Gage.
