The story of a man who is too black to be white and too educated to be black
Produced by CHARLES LEFEAUX
by GEOFFREY SKELTON
Wieland Wagner , the composer's grandson, was the dominant figure at the Bayreuth Festival from 1951 until his death three years ago. His revolulicinary spirit is still very much in evidence, and this year's new production of The Flying Dutchman suggests that the forward-looking policy will continue.
The Flying Dutchman A romantic opera
Words and music by WAGNER (sung in German in the original, continuous version) Recording from the Bayreuth Festival 1969 Cast in order of singing
Daland's seamen, the Dutchman's phantom crew. maidens
BAYREUTH FESTIVAL CHORUS chorus-master WILHELM PITZ BAYREUTH FESTIVAL ORCHESTRA conducted by SILVIO VARVISO Produced by AUGUST EVERDING
Four years ago Donald Mc-Intyre sang his first Dutchman at Sadler's Wells Theatre in English. This year he has returned to the part, but on the foremost Wagnerian stage in the world. For some time now this 34-year-old New Zealander has been stepping effortlessly into the seven-league boots of the leading Wagner and Strauss Heldenbariton roles. In 1967 he reached Bayreuth asTehamund i Lohengrin): the next year it was Telramund and Klingsor iParsifaV); and now it is the storm-tossed hero condemned to sail forever round the earth until set free bv a woman's love.
The story is set in the 18th century, on the coast of Norway
Act 1 A rocky sea-shore
9.35* Act 2 A room in Daland's house
