Lidiya Yankovskaya makes her conducting debut with Rusalka at Santa Fe Opera. Mark Tiarks of The New Mexican interviews her about her musical process:

“For Yankovskya, that has meant looking at the score through two very different prisms. ‘The wonderful thing about Rusalka, like many great operas, is that the drama and the music are so woven together,’ she says. ‘So for me, the most important thing is finding that overall arc of the storytelling, and finding how each individual moment fits into the arc.’”
