Der Fliegende Hollander (Wagner) Met Live in HD

François Girard, whose mystical, blood-drenched vision for Wagners Parsifal became one of the Mets most intensely visceral highlights in recent seasons, turns to another Wagnerian masterpiece, Der Fliegende Holländer, conducted by Valery Gergiev. For the first time at the Met, Sir Bryn Terfel sings the role of the mysterious Dutchman, condemned to roam the seas for eternity, with Anja Kampe as the devoted Senta, whose love can set him free. In a nod to Sentas obsession with a portrait of the legendary title seafarer, the Met stage is transformed into a colossal oil painting. Franz-Josef Selig portrays Sentas father Daland, Sergey Skorokhodov takes on the role of the huntsman Erik, David Portillo sings the Steersman, and Mihoko Fujimura is Sentas nurse Mary. Der Fliegende Holländer is a co-production with LOpéra de Québec and Dutch National Opera, Amsterdam.
