"... For his >Rusalka> in Schwerin, stage director Hendrik Müller always finds new images of yearning. With the desire to be elsewhere, the director meets Antonín Dvorák's music in an impressive and sensitive way. Where I am not, there is happiness
In Hendrik Müller's production, Jezibaba is Rusalka's alter ego: sensual, cheeky, assertive, unsentimental. In the end, these two merge into one person; face, hair, body and soul are the same. Everyone of them finally receives, what they have been missing before. Hendrik Müller and the choreographer Andrea Danae Kingston created a touching last image that, before the curtain falls, once again evokes all the wonders of this work, this production ... "

"... Not a <lyrical fairy tale>, but a story of ashen bitterness. [...] Dvorák's fairy-tale-kingdom becomes a bland reality, his human-realm becomes Rusalka's daydream, the prince's <Love Death> to Ruslaka’s emancipation from the ghosts of the romantism.
The young Berlin stage director Hendrik Müller made a radical upside-down of the opera. But it was to be expected, after he had already handeled <Csárdásfürstin> last year in the same way, with resounding success!
This time, he turns a fairy tale into a psychoanalytic study, with a high, also mysterious symbolic effort, which is of the beauty of external old pictures. And also this time, Müller inspired the Schwerin ensemble, especially in acting, to give an impressive ensemble-performance in a brilliant `theater of images´ of high aesthetic attractiveness – in his scenic fantasy, challenging and illuminating at the same time...

"... Hendrik Müller makes from this lyrical fairy tale, what actually is in the core of the plot: a heartwarming psychological drama. [...] The director wasn’t afraid, to dust away the old theatrical material and to develope clear and impressive scenes. Hendrik Müller staged his Schweriner <Rusalka> as a fairy tale full of bleak bitterness, full of renunciation, unfulfilled longings and hopes, dreams and desires ... "
(Wolfram Pilz - NDR, October 20, 2014)
"... The fairy tale turns to a psychodrama, that captures the audience the whole performance - and even long time after. When Müller then even swaps the worlds, when he plays the fairytale world of Aquarius in an conservative room, when he ‘paints’ the real castle of the prince with a magical, dream-like coat, everything [...] is presented to the eye in such an unusual, new way, that it stimulates the mind. [...] The premiere acclaimed with stormy applause ... "
