I loved seeing Wagner's The Flying Dutchman presented by the Piedmont Opera. The Flying Dutchman (Der Fliegende Holländer) which premiered in Dresden in 1843 is an opera in three acts with music and libretto by Richard Wagner. The running time is about 3 hours with two intermissions. It is sung in German with English translations projected above the stage.
The staging was impressive and even the imagery with the three large projection screens drew numerous "wows!" from those in the audience, The music in this production, both vocal and instrumental, really delivered as shown in the video.
