Dvorak: Rusalka -- Paris Opera/Conlon

starring: Renee Fleming, Eva Urbanova, Larissa Diadkova, Sergej Larin, Franz Hawlata
directed by: Robert Carsen

Release Date November 03, 2003
Musically this production is alright, but the production bears no relation to the opera of Dvorak. Anyone who wishes to see how it should be staged should watch either of the Czech productions, either the film which is a delight to the eye, or that staged in Prague opera house in 1998. The latter is excellent in every way, and has a very fine bass.
