Love Story I The opera is the story of the water nymph Rusalka I who falls in love with a prince | whom she cannot touch because she is not human.
In the first act, Rusalka sees the prince when he comes to bathe in her lake. She tells ,the merman, the father of the , waters, that she wants to be I human so she might win his love.
I The merman warns her that Ihumans are treacherous, but she refuses to heed the warning and consults a witch who promises to make her human.
There are two conditions under which the witch agrees to make her human. The first is that she will never be able to speak again.
The second is that should the prince prove faithless, he will be destroyed and Rusalka will forever be banished to the lark waters of the lake.
