OPERA from the Met Opera is on the cards at Bridport Arts Centre.

Rusalka will be screened on Sunday March 19 from 5pm.

Kristine Opolais stars in the role that helped launch her international career, the mythical Rusalka, who sings the haunting Song to the Moon. Mary Zimmerman brings her wondrous theatrical imagination to Dvorák’s fairytale of love and longing, rejection and redemption. Brandon Jovanovich, Jamie Barton, Katarina Dalayman and Eric Owens complete the all-star cast., and Mark Elder conducts.

The only one of Dvorák’s operas to gain an international following, it contains evocations of the natural and the supernatural worlds, and even a poignant interpretation of the idea of a love-death.The story has a strong national flavour as well as universal appeal, infused by the Romantic supernaturalism of Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué’s novella Undine, which was previously set as an opera by E.T.A. Hoffmann, Tchaikovsky and others, and Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid.The arts centre will be serving an opera supper alongside the show.
