This is Opera - Season 2 - Eps 13: Rusalka
Written in the early 20th century by Antonin Dvorák, "Rusalka" is based on the Hans Christian Andersen story "The Little Mermaid". The heart of the story is accepting one's own identity. But it also explores one of the great mysteries of humankind: the fragility of love. Will giving up on being who we are bring us happiness or misery? Is "Rusalka" a metaphor for racism? Or is it simply an exaltation of difference?
