Meanwhile, Dvořák’s romantic fairy-tale opera Rusalka, which premiered at the National Theatre on March 31, 1901, will be featured next year at the opera house in Massy, France. Rusalka is widely regarded as a highlight of Czech opera. Other works the Czech composer is famed for are his orchestral piece, Symphony No. 9, "From the New World,” the Slavonic Dances, and Cello Concerto in B minor.
