Rusalka returns to Madrid "on an overwhelming level that will leave its mark". Asmik Grigorian enchants the public in the title role.

Rusalka returns to Madrid “on an overwhelming level that will leave its mark. What a great Rusalka we have for the future!” (El Español) Mesmerizing soprano Asmik Grigorian, “already one of the most outstanding sopranos of her generation“ (Online Merker) stars with a “voice, at its zenith of maturity“ (El Pais) in the title role of Christoph Loy’s timeless and evocative staging of Dvorák’s tragic take on the Little Mermaid fable. Especially „the direction of dancers and extras in the second act is a virtuoso performance by Loy and his choreographer.“ (El Pais) “Musically, this Rusalka is of immense quality, no doubt due to the spectacular work of Ivor Bolton.“ (El Español)
