Wagner’s The Flying Dutchman is a tale not only about redemption through love, but also about the helpless plight of human beings in the face of wilful and vindictive supernatural forces. In the hands of Wagner, the mythical Dutchman, instead of being a collector of itinerant souls at sea, has become an intrepid adventurer condemned to eternal maritime wandering.

La maîtresse de conférences en littérature française (Moyen Âge) et soprano allemande parcourt le monde pour ses recherches comme pour chanter, avec son trio de musique de chambre, en soliste ou en choeur. Ses années d'expériences instrumentales (piano, flûte, guitare) n'ont que très modérément entravé son amour inconditionnel de la voix et du répertoire choral en particulier.https://bachtrack.com/files/7090-presse_vaisseau_fantomerjean_louisfernandez84.jpg475470Magdalena Anna Hofmann (Senta)Jean-Louis Fernandez2014-Oct-11, Opéra Nouvel: Vaisseau fantôme, Le (Der fliegende Holländer)https://bachtrack.com/opera-listing/opera-nouvel/vaisseau-fantome-le-der-fliegende-hollander/11-october-2014/20-002014-10-112014-10-17Opéra NouvelLyonRhône-AlpesFrance690011 Place de la Comédie45.7677923901339064.8366115987300874
