RTÉ MUSIC: Opera Night presents The Flying Dutchman

The Flying Dutchman Image Name: The Flying Dutchman

The Flying Dutchman by Wagner

Presented by Bernard Clarke.

Egils Silius (bass-baritone) is the Dutchman who is doomed to sail the seas until he finds a woman who will be faithful to him until death. Meanwhile Senta (soprano, Anja Kampe), though engaged to Erik (tenor, Endrik Wottrich), is strangely drawn to the Dutchman. Jeffrey Tate conducts the Royal Opera House Orchestra.
Recorded at Covent Garden last November.
