Performer: Rebecca Meltzer

This bracing performance of The Flying Dutchman is a powerful reminder of the extraordinary musical standards which are at risk in the face of WNO’s subsidy cuts. 

Dove’s masterful adaptation, combined with an ebullient and characterful rendition by New Zealand Opera, make for a very effective and at times, very moving, afternoon at the opera. 

A uniformly strong cast and pianists effortlessly combine comedy and emotion in Dove's Mansfield Park from Waterperry Opera.
