The mermaid Rusalka loves the prince - a human! She wants to risk everything, the loss of her family and her home, to become a human woman. Transformed by the witch Ježibaba, she must face the prince in silence, telling him of her love only through her looks and gestures. If the prince does not fall in love with her, he must die and she must live as an outcast from then on. Rusalka's appearance initially beguiles the prince, but the magical, voiceless creature remains a foreign body in the human world, and eventually her lover turns his back on her...

Rusalka

German Oper am Rhein

In this new production, Aida unfolds not in the distant world of the pharaohs, but against the backdrop of the modern Middle East — a landscape shaped by political tension, shifting alliances, and the human cost of conflict. At the heart of the opera lies the impossible love between Aida and Radamès, crushed between loyalty, power, and identity.
