Song to the Moon: Renée Fleming Returns to the Met for Dvořák's 'Rusalka,' Cinecast Audience Set to Beat Bizet's Best

Opening on Thursday and running until February 15, the Metropolitan Opera will be presenting the great Antonin Dvořák's Rusalka.

Even better, Renée Fleming will return to one of her signature roles--singing the emblematic "Song to the Moon" aria as only she can.

Conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes the podium in the pit, while mezzo-soprano Dolora Zajick channels the forest witch and tenor Piotr Beczała as the prince.

The 1901 divine opera was based on a fairy tale about a water nymph that beseeches a witch for mortality after falling in love with a prince.
