Wagner's Der Fliegende Holländer Tickets

See it if Impressive multimedia: it looked like a thunderstorm, Northern Lights, and a sunset were happening onstage(sequentially, not simultaneously)

Don’t see it if The story is a little slow, but this isn't one to skip; wonderfully sung and beautifully staged. Also? Short for Wagner (only 2.5 hours!).

See it if You like Wagner operas, wonderful singing and overall experience of Metropolitan Opera.

Don’t see it if You get bored and antsy sitting for 2.5 hours without intermission, want a lot of action on stage.

See it if You want an epic opera based on classic story of the Flying Dutchman (which is based on the Pirates of the Caribbean, right...?).

Don’t see it if You don't like Wagner (which I cannot fault you for). Also, its 2.5 hours with no intermission, so prepare yourself!

See it if you want to hear the amazing Dutchman of Tomasz Konieczny who dominated the evening in an economical new production, with other good singers

Don’t see it if you don’t like Wagner or grand opera, don’t like video backgrounds or long dangling ropes, or want to actually see the Flying Dutchman
