Rusalka Dvořák,A

Krumlov žije Rusalkou / 2009, Video dokument studenta Jacka Bauera. Otáčivé hlediště Český Krumlov.

Dvořák's most lyrical song about an unfulfillable desire will not sound anywhere better than in front of a revolving auditorium. It seems that one of the most popular Czech operas - Dvořák's Rusalka - was given directly to the revolving auditorium in Český Krumlov. She first appeared in this magical environment during the III. year of the South Bohemian Theater Festival in 1959. At that time, the orchestra was sitting under Bellaria and the turntable did not move. Nevertheless, this opera was performed next year and the success was huge. With the "turning", the new Rusalka returned to the castle park as early as 1963. Due to the fact that in the 1970s and 1980s, the opera had a twenty-seven-year break before the next Rusalka, another production of Rusalka appeared here in the mid-1990s. The production by director Jana Kališová and conductors Petr Chromčák and Milan Kaňák has adorned JD's summer theater seasons for many seasons. A number of important guests performed there - primarily soprano Eva Dřízgová - Jirušová in the title role, in the role of Prince tenor Valentin Prolat or bassist Jevhen Šokalo in the role of Vodník. The open-air version of this opera to the words of Jaroslav Kvapil is this time the work of Martin Peschík (music production) and Josef Průdek (direction). The stage was designed by Martin Hruška jh, costumes Vladimíra Fomínová jh
