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

"Loy’s concept works well and the stylish production values make this one of the most successful Rusalkas on film…Central to the success of Loy’s production is Asmik Grigorian’s outstanding, passionate Rusalka." - Gramophone Magazine, January 2022.
