Review: Of the three Santa Fe Opera productions I saw this year, at least Netia Jones’ reimagining of Debussy’s Pelléas et Mélisande didn’t get too much in... The eponymous water nymph falls in love with a Prince, but can win him only by being turned into a human. The witch Jezibaba works the necessary magic, but at great price. Rusalka becomes beautiful, but speechless, and if she fails to win the Prince’s lasting love, she’ll be turned into a flickering will-o’-the-wisp. She then can be redeemed only by killing the faithless Prince
The eponymous water nymph falls in love with a Prince, but can win him only by being turned into a human. The witch Jezibaba works the necessary magic, but at great price.
Jordan Lloyd and Kaylee Nichols in Santa Fe Opera's 2023 production of Dvorak's 'Rusalka' at John Crosby Theatre, Santa Fe, N.M.For the first act, set designer Leslie Travers lines the stage with institutional walls of high white doors that open and shut for entrances and exits; drawers below extend for steps. A higgledy-piggledy tower of white chairs looms on the right, over a shallow pool.
Some of the most impressive singing comes from company apprentices in smaller roles: Jordan Lloyd as the Gamekeeper; Kaylee Nichols as the Kitchen Girl; and Ilanah Lobel-Torres, Lydia Grindatto and Meridian Prall as an extraordinarily mellifluous trio of Wood Sprites. The offstage chorus of nymphs, prepared by chorus master Susanne Sheston, sings beautifully, too.
