Rusalka's [song to the Moon] from Antonín Dvo?ák opera Rusalka/
top 10 cellists
Cello or Opera, which one do you like?
The emotional impact of music is highly subjective, and individuals may have different responses and interpretations based on their personal experiences and sensitivities. Cello Dvorak Rusalka [Song to the Moon], but not the Opera soprano, got my eyes swollen in tears and crying. why?
“Song to the Moon” from Antonín Dvo?ák’s opera Rusalka. This aria is known for its hauntingly beautiful melody and emotional depth. The lyrics express the longing and sadness of the water nymph Rusalka, who wishes to become human in order to experience love.
In the opera, Rusalka falls in love with a human prince and seeks the help of a witch to transform her into a human. However, this transformation comes at a cost – Rusalka loses her voice and ability to speak. Despite her sacrifice, the prince is unable to fully reciprocate her love, leading to heartbreak and tragedy.
The combination of Dvo?ák’s evocative music and the poignant story of unrequited love and sacrifice in Rusalka can elicit strong emotional reactions from listeners. The beauty and sadness of the music, along with the dramatic context of the opera, can touch the depths of one’s emotions and bring tears to their eyes.

Most recently, Yo-Yo began Our Common Nature, a cultural journey to celebrate the ways that nature can reunite us in pursuit of a shared future. Our Common Nature follows the Bach Project, a 36-community, six-continent tour of J. S. Bach’s cello suites paired with local cultural programming. Both endeavors reflect Yo-Yo’s lifelong commitment to stretching the boundaries of genre and tradition to understand how music helps us to imagine and build a stronger society.
