The drama and spectacle of opera comes to the Concert Hall when David Robertson conducts Wagner’s first great opera, The Flying Dutchman with outstanding bass-baritone Eric Owens in the title role.

Description

It’s a tale of obsession, sacrifice and redemption. Follow American bass-baritone Eric Owens as the Dutchman singing with a ‘mastery that would be at home in any Wagnerian golden age’. He heads a cast of powerful and radiant voices that will bring this Romantic psychodrama to life.

In another century, the Flying Dutchman took the Devil’s name in vain, and now he’s doomed to sail the seas, allowed ashore once every seven years to search for the woman who will be his salvation. Meanwhile, by the Norwegian fjords, Senta dreams that she will be the one to liberate the legendary (ghostly?) Dutchman. It’s a tale of obsession, sacrifice and redemption. And zombies.

American bass-baritone Eric Owens sings with a ‘mastery that would be at home in any Wagnerian golden age’. Making his Australian debut as the Dutchman, he heads a cast of powerful and radiant voices that will bring this Romantic psychodrama to life . The Concert Hall itself will be draped in the inspired and fluid illusions of video and projections designer, S. Katy Tucker.

A Wagner 200th anniversary performance.

WAGNER The Flying Dutchman

Sung in German with English surtitles.
