Glyndebourne Touring Opera presents Dvorák's moving take on Hans Christian Andersen's 'The Little Mermaid'. A water nymph's desperate longing to experience true love plunges her into the emotional maelstrom of life at a handsome Prince's court. She emerges with a profounder understanding of the unspeakable pain, as well as the fleeting joys, of human existence.
