About
At Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, maestro Fabio Luisi gives “a superb performance” (Operawire) of Der Fliegende Holländer (The Flying Dutchman), the forerunner of grand Wagnerian dramas. His Italian Richard Wagner debut is infused with energy and drive, under his direction the orchestra and chorus of Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, together with Coro Ars Lyrica, sparkle “in what was a five star performance” (Operawire). Thomas Gazheli stars as the Dutchman, who has been condemned to endlessly wander the seas until the day of Judgement. Marjorie Owens shines as his saviour Senta.

Awards and reviews
August 2020
The production’s first great asset is Fabio Luisi. I suppose any conductor worth his salt is able to whip up a storm in the sea scenes, but Luisi proves equally adept at sustaining the rapt quality of the score’s still, psychological centres...The second great asset is Marjorie Owens, a tower of strength on all fronts...Her complete display of operatic art had me enthralled, as if by Rita Hunter in her prime—what more could one want?
