SOUNDING THE CENTURY

Rusalka Dvorak 's opera about a water spirit who falls in love with a prince and takes on human form only to discover the treachery and cruelty of men and women. This is a new revival by English National Opera of David Pountney's production, in which the story is interpreted as an allegory of adolescent longing and the loss of innocence. Dvorak started work on Rusalka at the time that Sigmund Freud 's The
Interpretation of Dreams was published (which opened up for the first time the world of the subconscious) and it is in that Freudian world of symbols - particularly of moon and water - that the director David Pountney and designer Stefanos Lazardis set their production for ENO, which was first seen in 1983. Rusalka's wish to change from her fishy, water-nymph state into a hot-blooded human is a metaphor for a girl's passage from childhood into sexual maturity at the turn of the century. The whole opera is set in an anything-but-cosy
Edwardian nursery, where everything is a virginal white. This performance was given last month at the London Coliseum.
English National Opera Chorus and Orchestra, conductor Richard Hickox

The series of programmes in which Professor Steve Jones assesses the legacy of Charles Darwin 's Origin of Species.
Imprints. Fossils both intrigued and perplexed Darwin. Their mere presence seemed to provide ample evidence of "the origin", but the patchy glimpse of prehistory they provided allowed his critics to attack his theories: where, for example, was the animal halfway between a lizard and a bird? Where were the fish that first walked on the land?
This week's programme attempts to provide answers to these fundamental questions and looks for "fossilised" human behaviour that may give us clues as to how our ancestors thought.
Producers Jim Clarke and Anne McNaught
