An extraordinary performance

Zurich Opera deliver a superbly energised and paradoxically joyous rendition of Wagner's tragedy

Thrilling Dutchman from Terfel and Zurich Opera

Bryn Terfel’s Dutchman was a towering achievement that at times threatened to blow the roof off the Royal Festival Hall

Bryn Terfel and Anja Kampe were both in torrentially magnificent voice

As a vehicle for Terfel’s Dutchman, the performance more than delivered

A passionately refined performance by the orchestra and thrilling singing

A thrilling evening

On this occasion, we heard Terfel justify the whole performance

Enter the Dutchman – in the towering, implacable form of Bryn Terfel – and enter the drama

Bryn Terfel by no means the only treasure on board top Swiss ship
