The Flying Businessman

Summary/Abstract: A review of The Flying Dutchman rendered by Jan Philipp Gloger for the Richard Wagner Festival in Bayreuth. Łada begins her text by describing the scandal that accompanied Yevgeni Nikitinov’s resignation from the main role, owing to the swastika tattooed on his chest. Regardless of these circumstances, the author anticipates success for the performance, because: “Although Gloger’s staging intensifies the pessimistic mood of Wagner’s opera, it is fairly legible to the contemporary viewer.”
