Rusalka is based on Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid. Disney adapted and changed the original story to have a happy ending unlike the original. Although mostly known by American audiences as the composer of the stirring "New World" Symphony, Antonin Dvořák was also a prolific composer of opera; his Rusalka is among the most frequently performed operas around the world.
