Performer: Joanna Parker

Annabel Arden’s production provides joyous comedy, with vocal and orchestral performances of the very finest.

Opera North’s The Flying Dutchman, directed by Annabel Arden, conjures up frightening storms and links the production to the plight of asylum seekers. 

Directed by Matthew Eberhardt and conducted by Matthew Kofi Waldren, this semi-staging of Bizet's opera is well worth experiencing, despite its weak plot.
