In his much-discussed Munich production of Rusalka in October 2010, Martin Kusej radically reinterpreted the fate of the water nixie. The fairy tale of the fishtail mermaid who, out of love for her dream prince, renounces her fluid element of life and tragically strands in the depths of the human world, becomes the story of an escape attempt. It is no coincidence that the title heroine reminds us of Natascha Kampusch, who was held prisoner in an underground dungeon for more than eight years before she managed to escape • Lyric Fairy Tale in three acts, op. 114 Jaroslav Kvapil, libretto Rusalka - Kristīne Opolaís Prince - Klaus Florian Vogt Foreign Princess - Nadia Krasteva Water Gablin - Günther Groissböck Ježibaba - Janina Baechle Forester - Ulrich Reß Kitchen Boy - Tara Erraught Hunter - John Chest 1st Wood Nymph - Evgeniya Sotnikova 2nd Wood Nymph - Angela Brower 3rd Wood Nymph - Okka from the Damerau Choir of the Bavarian State Opera Bavarian State Orchestra Tomáš Hanus, conductor Martin Kušej, stage director Thomas Grimm, video director. • Recorded live at the Nationaltheater, Munich, 20-26 Oct. 2010
