Rusalka is probably the only opera where you get to party in water!lol the 3 part harmony is amazingly blended and these 3 women are absolutely ravishing!

I saw this production is Paris twice and love it : very modern but very nice looking and poetic :-))

@KnusperhexeRosmer that's it... in autumn i'm going to see Rusalka in Prague. i heard it's done in a way like this, so I'm curios and afraid,too. i think here in Prague there are mostly classical productions and I really love Rusalka I saw when I was eight, it didn't make any step from romantism (well, with some tollerance...). but for me those three women are very romantic - they're beautiful, they all have long dark hair and I can't complain as to my image of Rusalka. and their czech is good;)

@zralokvemigraci That´s the point. It seems to be a new law "Twist each and every opera into something completely different from the composer`s and the writer`s original."

@zralokvemigraci Indeed! This is why there are so few performances of Czech operas in Australia - very sad! Rusalka, yes; The Cunning Little Vixen, yes; Jenufa, yes; but I want Smetana's Dve Vdovy, and they just won't give it to me :0(

@KnusperhexeRosmer i think i understand, but still i like this production or at least the few i saw of it.i once saw don giovanni on a german or austrian tv and it was set on a bus stop. that was terrible. but when i saw la traviata (salzburg, 2006, netrebko+villazon) and i found it stunning, there was nothing but big clock and a sofa, but it was really great. i think the problem is that those productions are too obsessed with their own modernity. just throw out everything that might seem old...

[zralokvemigraci]

@feuilletoniste but he is Czech! :) we Czech are very obsessed with the pronounciation, so he must have said something;). but now I must disagree, this is perfect, i understand very well. doesn't flemming sing rusalka in this production? her czech is a bit worse, but i know it's so hard to learn it, it's just like for me to learn japanese... :)

@chokkan2 náhodou já myslím, že češtinu zvládly dost dobře.. nemám moc problém jim rozumět.

i've been looking for "Hou Hou Hou" on youtube for 3 days, thanks soooo much for posting this. I had an old disc from the czech republic that had highlights from a neumann production (with benackova) and this, cury mury fuk and mesicku na nebi hlubokem are all outstanding, i wonder why the former 2 don't get as much play in popera.

[feuilletoniste]

@chokkan2 Well, Czech can do that to people!

[KnusperhexeRosmer]

@signorinaermione Maybe, but here in Germany, we only have modern productions, the old ones were blown away and I am sick of it and thru with it. Would love to watch a Rusalka with lake, wood and castle. If I am forced to watch a Rusalka once more set on a dumping ground, a bus stop, a school or a kindergarten, I swear, I will scream.

@KnusperhexeRosmer De gustibus non disputandum est ;-) I saw Rusalka directed by Carsen in Torino and in my opinion it was wonderful. I love production tradictional or modern, if moving, thrilling, intelligent, consistent, sensible... Bests!
