Having seen the dress rehearsal of Dolores Claiborne, and concluding that a story even more sordid than Rigoletto (domestic violence, child sexual abuse) needed Rigoletto-quality music but didn’t get it, I traded our Dolores Claiborne subscription tickets for an additional performance of The Flying Dutchman. No regrets.
Our cast:
The Dutchman: Greer Grimsley
Senta: Lise Lindstrom
Daland: Kristinn Sigmundsson
Erik: Ian Storey
The Steersman: A. J. Glueckert
Conductor: Patrick Summers
Director: Petrika Ionesco
Things seemed to have been settling into place as this difficult production (the one in which the director was fired a week before the opening) found its bearings. No significant changes in the sets or the stage action, and the singing was a bit better. A beta.
