The Flying Dutchman

Directed by Dmitri Tcherniakov
2h 28mMusic
Last summer's Bayreuth Festival opened with a gripping new production of Der fliegende Holländer. Dmitri Tcherniakov's Bayreuth directorial debut is a study in alienation, revenge and redemption. The staging was notable for two other milestones, as Oksana Lyniv became the first woman to conduct at Richard Wagner's legendary Festspielhaus since its opening in 1876, and the sensational Lithuanian soprano Asmik Grigorian made her house debut with a standout performance as the opera's heroine, Senta. The exceptional cast also included John Lundgren (The Dutchman), Georg Zeppenfeld (Daland), Eric Cutler (Erik) and Marina Prudenskaya (Mary). Filmed live by Deutsche Grammophon.
