The Met continues its' first rate season with an excellent re-creation of its' 1989 production of Richard Wagners'1843 opera THE FLYING DUTCHMAN. This ghost tale about a mysterious sea captain cursed to sail forever unless he finds unconditional love of a woman is a fascinating creation boasting some soaring music ,and remarkably colorful orchestrations which conductor Kazushi Ono understands completly. The great Met orchestra has never sounded better.
Everything works, from August Everdings' expert staging to Hans Schavernoch' stunning sets.
THE FLYING DUTCHMAN is fascinating and the staging is first rate. Another fine evening at the opera.
