Rusalka returns to Madrid "on an overwhelming level that will leave it's mark". (El Español) Mesmerizing soprano Asmik Grigorian, "already one of the most outstanding sopranos of her generation" (Online Merker) stars with a "voice, at it's zenith of maturity" (El Pais) in the title role of Christoph Loy's timeless and evocative staging of Dvorak'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)
