Concert Performance.

Wagner's celebrated story, in which The Dutchman finds redemption through the love of a faithful woman, employs a rich pallet of orchestral colour to brilliant effect, painting a vivid picture of drama on the high seas.

Welshman Bryn Terfel, 'widely acknowledged as the world's finest bass-baritone' (The Daily Mail), and the Zurich Opera House company come to Royal Festival Hall straight from performing the role at the Zurich Opera House.
