Hardly any Wagner opera is more popular than ‘The Flying Dutchman’. A new production by Hermann Schneider premiered at the Linz Music Theater. The charismatic baritone Aris Argiris can be seen in the leading role of “The Dutchman”. Erica Eloff was left out as Senta at the premiere, but was well represented. Markus Poschner and the Bruckner Orchestra performed with the largest symphonic ensemble.
Actually a double premiere: Wagner’s “The Flying Dutchman” was shown in the Landestheater, but never before in the music theater. The major work premiered here on Saturday and this time it succeeds without any metaphysical exaggeration. No, it is about people of flesh and blood, about great feelings such as loneliness, economic hardship and despair, director Hermann Schneider emphasizes. He starts the story in the overture.
