It is standard these days to perform The Dutchman in one go, isn't it!? I'm sure you'll enjoy the show. Hopefully you have a good seat (there are several acoustic patches at Bastille where you see everything but hear as if it was a music played at your net doors neighbor ;) ).

In the original version of the score as recorded by Klemperer or the last ROH production the opera ends with some perfunctory chords. Later Wagner replaced these with a redemptive post Tristan coda. I will be interested in hearing in October which version the Bastille plays, and is it in one act or three?Vecchio Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06667687814424223347noreply@blogger.com
