S02E13 Rusalka

Created in the early 1900s by Antonin Dvorák, "Rusalka" draws inspiration from Hans Christian Andersen's tale "The Little Mermaid." At its core, the narrative delves into the theme of self-acceptance, while also probing the delicate nature of love—a profound human enigma. Does sacrificing our true selves lead to joy or despair? Can "Rusalka" be seen as a commentary on racism, or is it merely a celebration of diversity?
