This is Renee Fleming's role; the feature aria is her signature and it was her audition piece for the Met. THIS performance of "Hymn to the Moon", and I have seen several of hers, is and always will be my favorite. She is just radiant. The conductor allows her a much slower tempo so that her voice blooms. This is not how Dvorak wrote it, but she holds the final note for added effect - rarely performed this way because it throws tradition out the window, but it's marvelous. Franz Hawlata is is a true schwarzbass and he sings "Bedo, bedo" with such soul. The other leads are in fine voice in this performance.OK, this being the operatic little mermaid, don't except any mermaids or magical costumes. "Regietheater" tries to show operatic characters in modern settings to expose certain themes. This production, imho, is trying to show the sexual themes in Rusalka. In most productions, Rusalka's reasons for treating the prince coldly in Act II can be a bit vague. Maybe she's overwhelmed by the decadence of his world. This production makes it clear: the prince's advances are VERY sexual. The dancing is very sexual. Rusalka is bewildered. It fits very well musically and shows the "fear of sex" themes in the opera. If Registheater is not to your taste, a later performance of Fleming at the Met in the traditional production where Rusalka sits in a tree and the "water goblin" wears a green chest plate for fake cut abs and pecs, is also available on Amazon. That one is just WAY too campy for me. This is one production where Regietheater is a success! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful *by E***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2013* Excellent recording, Renee Fleming is one of the most beautiful voices actually.And Rusalka music is really impressive. Antonin Dvorak is one of my favorite composers. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Notable production and musical performance *by E***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2010* The musical performance seems pretty much flawless, at least it seems to me. Fleming may hold one or two notes a bit too long, just because she can, but her overall interpretation is charming as well as vocally perfect. The Jezibaba and Vodnik have sung their roles all over the world and deliver here. Larin, the Prince, can be a bit less convincing as an actor, but he manages the difficult big moments for his character without strain. The sound quality of the DVD and the conductor are excellent.The production is a modern, reinterpretive one, and a very successful one at that, from the Paris Opera. It is a psychological slant on Rusalka, with the staging seemingly suggesting that Rusalka, The Foreign Princess, and Jezibaba are all different aspects of the same woman, mainly by means of matching costumes and by having characters move as reflections of each other in mirrors. The ending is reconceived as a happy one, a new beginning for Rusalka and the Prince. The sets are incredibly attractive, although spare, and the lighting is striking. The DVD's picture is excellent and detailed, with rich, bright photography, even in some fairly dark (interms of the stage lighting) scenes.I have 2 dvds of Rusalka, this one and the English National Opera one with Eileen Hannan. They are both modern productions, and similar in interpreting Rusalka as a story about the difficulty of achieving maturity and breaking away from from one's parents. They are both excellent, but I have to admit, I would like to see something different. I am hoping the recent Glyndebourne production or some other will be released on DVD soon. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/8696534-rusalka](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/8696534-rusalka) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
