THE FLYING DUTCHMAN BY RICHARD WAGNER

Overview

Following his acclaimed 2019 performances as Alberich in the Ring cycle, bass-baritone Tomasz Konieczny stars as the accursed Dutchman in Wagner’s eerie drama, alongside incandescent soprano Elza van den Heever as the woman determined to redeem his soul. Maestro Thomas Guggeis conducts the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra with tenor Eric Cutler as Erik and bass Dmitry Belosselskiy as Daland in stage director François Girard’s ghostly setting.
