Rusalka (Dvorak)
I'm digging the water-gnomes's costume Oh, I get it. So she is the Little Mermaid. The water-gnome is basically Sebastian Crab That was the moon song that is the most famous part of this opera apparently. It was so-so I'm sure it will grow on me This is so the little mermaid! There's even an Ursula-esque witch And she has to give up her voice in exchange for becoming a mortal! The whole eternal damnation thing is slightly higher stakes I guess But being turned into a weird ocean floor plankton forever is no laughing matter The prince's palace even looks like Eric's from TLM Why can she suddenly use her voice now that daddy water-gnome is back? Water-gnome is like: I told you not to go on land In other words: Darling it's better, down where it's wetter, take it from me!!!! Under the sea Under the sea There'll be no accusations Just friendly crustaceans Etc. She needs to ditch prince-boy. At least Erik had the decency
