2007.8.17. Flying Dutchman by Richard Wagner at Seattle Opera. Good stage design, voice, and costume (modern). Great chorus. Asher Fisch conducts (an Israeli), Greer Grimsley as the Dutchman, Jane Eaglen as Senta. Even though her voice is outstanding, her presence on stage suffers from her largeness. 1st act was too sombre, both in color and music. Pre-performance lecture was fun and informative.
