Dorothy Chandler Pavilion (Los Angeles, CA)
Misfortune, greed, and fidelity collide in this storm-battered tale of one man’s quest for life-saving love. This opera retells the nautical legend of the fearsome Flying Dutchman, cursed to sail the seas until he finds a woman who will love him until death. With its dramatic music and soaring arias as well as an accessible story and a running time only just over two hours — the same length as many movies — this is the perfect introduction to the opera and one of its great composers, Wagner. It’s also a must-see for aficionados, as this production is brand new to Los Angeles. The LA Opera brings this thrilling tale to the stage with striking imagery that draws you into the unsettling, mythic world where the tormented hero seeks love and redemption. Conductor James Conlon, one of the foremost Wagner interpreters of our time, leads a world-class cast in this mesmerizing production staged by the brilliant Nikolaus Lehnhoff. This opera is presented in German, with projected English translations.
