In March 2020, the Met was forced to cancel the remainder of the 2019–20 season due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The decision also meant ending the Live in HD season early, only days before a scheduled transmission of François Girard’s stirring new production of Wagner’s Der Fliegende Holländer. Fortunately, as part of regular preparations for an HD broadcast, the preceding performance of the opera was recorded as a camera rehearsal. In this high-definition “scratch taping,” conductor Valery Gergiev is on the podium for Wagner’s eerie ghost story. Bass-baritone Evgeny Nikitin delivers a commanding performance in the title role, opposite soprano Anja Kampe in her Met debut as Senta.

Run time: approximately 2 hours and 25 minutes

PERFORMANCE DATE
MAR 10, 2020
