Description:

Kirsten Flagstad brings remarkable vocal stamina and expressive range to the role of Senta in this performance of Der fliegende Holländer. Her sterling voice flows with unflagging intensity, never buckling under the role’s dramatic weight and capturin both the innocence and determination of the character with unwavering poise.

Ludwig Weber delivers a sonorous and authoritative Daland, while Max Lorenz proves an excellent Erik, offering vocal strength and dramatic urgency. The cast as a whole is well-matched, and the performance unfolds with an organic momentum that sustains interest throughout.
