Performer: Annabel Arden

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. 

Strong solo and ensemble singing from a solid cast – with a last minute addition for Act 2 – make for a joyful revival of this much-loved production. 

Strong singing and a punchy orchestral performance makes this latest revival of Donizetti's cheering village rom-com a hit.

This interpretation by co-directors Annabel Arden and Femi Elufowoju Jr was intelligently conceived and brilliantly executed.

Annabel Arden's superb production of Donizetti's classic makes a welcome return for the Glyndebourne Tour in a taut revival led by two excellent principals.
