The challenges of Cherubini’s version of the Greek tragedy prove too much for the National Theatre to overcome.

Directors Martin Kukučka and Lukáš Trpišovský, who work together as SKUTR, take on Dvořák’s Rusalka with a surfeit of ideas. 

Herheim’s maiden voyage in his new capacity as Intendant confirms his ability to deftly negotiate a less-than-straightforward work with care and ambition and add his own voice enthusiastically to the mix.

Tradition and modernity are a mismatch in this uneven production of Mozart’s comic masterpiece.
