Otto Schenk’s storybook production perfectly captures the fairy-tale world of Dvořák’s supremely romantic opera. Star soprano Renée Fleming, in one of her most acclaimed portrayals, takes on the title role of the water nymph who longs to be human, opposite tenor Piotr Beczała as the Prince, the object of her affection. Bass-baritone John Relyea is the Vodník, mezzo-soprano Dolora Zajick sings the witch Ježibaba, and soprano Emily Magee is the Foreign Princess. Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts.
