About
The Flying Dutchman was Wagner’s breakthrough opera. Though Wagner still employed independent arias and choruses, his operatic concept transcended earlier works such as Rienzi, which was influenced by French grand opera. The supernatural tale of the Dutchman, condemned to roam the seas unless redeemed by a wife who will be faithful to him unto death, inspired an ambitious work in which Wagner was able to unite his dramatic and musical vision with a powerful combined effect for the first time.

Mulligan's Dutchman is about as good as you get nowadays with thrilling drops into a gravelly lower register...Holloway is an unsentimental Senta, who manages the changes of emotional tone in her Act Two ballad to great effect.
Awards Issue 2025
there's fine playing to enjoy from the Hong Kong Phil, and Jaap van Zweden once again shows himself adept at whipping up a dramatic storm. There's rhythmic bite, with well-drilled strings in particular (as you'd expect on the watch of a former Concertgebouw concertmaster) and warm, expressive work from the orchestra's brass.
