Darmstadt's Flying Dutchman was a gripping Romantic ghost story with a stong Senta in Astrid Weber. 

Hindemith's opera, based on the life and theories of Johannes Kepler, is impressively realised by the Landestheater

Christian von Götz's production doesn't all work, but he makes a viable, thought-provoking and entertaining show out of Weber's spooky classic.
