Lise Davidsen, Gerald Finley:

Wagner - Der fliegende w/Orch/Chorus NNO

Decca Classics is proud to announce the release of Der fliegende Holländer, the first full-length opera recording on the label from “the greatest soprano in the world right now” (The Telegraph), Lise Davidsen. This recording was captured live over two spectacular nights at the opera house in Oslo during the summer of 2024. In this performance, Lise Davidsen—brings her extraordinary artistry to the role of Senta, a part she currently does not plan to sing again. Der fliegende Holländer not only captures a defining moment for Davidsen but also preserves a significant piece of Wagnerian history, with her portrayal of this iconic character set against the dramatic Norwegian fjords that inspired the opera. Joining Davidsen on this landmark recording is internationally renowned Canadian baritone Gerald Finley, whose portrayal of the Dutchman has been widely celebrated for its lieder-like finesse and emotional depth. The performances were conducted by Edward Gardner, marking his debut as the new Music Director of The Norwegian Opera and Ballet, further underscoring the significance of this production.
