Rusalka Triumph Links Czech Slovak Museum Cedar Rapids
Guest columnist Michael Clive notes the National Czech and Slovak Museum and Library marks 50th anniversary with a pared down production of Dvorak's Rusalka. An unlikely collaboration among Sagittario Cedar Rapids Opera and the museum produced a piano and harp accompaniment version that still delivered high musical and dramatic value. The week of Czech and Slovak Echoes in the U.S. extended beyond immigrant communities, highlighting inclusive opera culture and roots in national heritage.
