My Halloween costume this year is the Rusalka, inspired by this opera's main character!

I saw this performance at the Met. The recording really doesn’t do her voice justice…

[@Muttonchop_USA]

Saw it too. You're right. The recording doesn't do her justice. Can't wait to see her in THE HOURS next season at the MET.

[@janetmckenzie146]

This doesn’t seem to be the 2014 Met performance, but something much earlier. If you can find it, her voice is much more flexible and expressive than this recording. Since the person who put this together went up to 2022, I’m not sure why they didn’t choose this later version, 2014 was one of many stellar years for Renée. I’m looking forward to The Hours, too! It was on the schedule for 2020-2021, but that entire season was cancelled. Given that the Met schedules performances years in advance, I wasn’t sure if we would see this or not. Plus, there would need to be an open calendar space for all three-Renée, Joyce, and Kelli. It looks like the stars have aligned, both literally and figuratively!

Oh, sorry, I was commenting on a different clip that compared 20 Rusalka from 1900ish to 2022. I would have loved to have been in the audience for this performance, it must have been stunning live. I saw in an interview once that Renée found the non-singing part of Rusalka challenging-you can imagine, an opera singer with no voice! On the other hand, as the Marschallin, Renée is offstage for the entire second act and most of the third.

@@janetmckenzie146 I think we saw that performance you refer too. I agree. (We, believe it or not, saw her in Boheme at NYC Opera, BEFORE she starred at Met.)

[@chivalrouslee]

Her voice is so difficult to categorize! With each role I add something new to her attributes.

[@orchardwatchandclockrepair8346]

Wow she is gorgeous

This is not Renée’s performance at the Met in 2014. If you can find it, have a listen. Her voice has developed considerably since this much earlier performance; overall, Renée has had the benefit of about 15 more years of practice and performance. Her vocal flexibility and expressiveness in this performance is unparalleled. Although no one has explained how a water nymph is near the top of a tree, although aesthetically it’s very nice. Note that her sleeve is caught on a branch at one point.

It's part of Rusalka folklore, Rusalki cannot stand up on land without leaning on a willow tree because they lack feet!

[@katherinewilson1853]

Trees, like willows are also known to be trees of fresh water sources, especially rivers.

[@renatazubova1275]

Nič jej nie rozumumieť. Keď to človek nepozná, tak ani nevie o čom spieva. Rusalku by mali spievať len slovanky. Aby to vedeli vyslovovať...☹️

[@oldrichdibelka790]

Souhlasím - slyšel jsem hodně verzí od zahraničních pěvkyň, ale všem bylo daleko lépe rozumět... I když - kdo to v cizině pozná?

[@loveispatient0808]

She has certain percentage of Slavic blood in her, definitely!😮

[@catarinaleal7781]

But her grandfathers are Czech! About slavic repertoir, her Russian is pretty good, I can understand almost everything she sings
