“Der fliegende Holländer” at Teatre Principal of Palma
George Gagnidze makes his debut at the Teatre Principal de Palma and his first appearance in Mallorca this February, singing the title role in Der fliegende Holländer.
The new production, staged by Marcelo Lombardero and conducted by Guillermo García-Calvo, premieres on February 18, with further performances on February 20 and 22. Gagnidze is joined by Iwona Sobotka as Senta, Vazgen Gazaryan as Daland, Alejandro Roy as Erik, Ana Ibarra as Mary, and Joan Laínez as the Steersman.
Gagnidze returned to the role last summer at Oper im Steinbruch, where his Dutchman was met with unanimous critical acclaim. In The Observer, Stephen Pritchard described him as a “granite-like baritone … a fine Dutchman”, while Austria’s Die Presse praised his “striking, top-secure heroic baritone and impressively clear diction,” noting that he conveyed “a sense of sorrowful rather than angry despair in the accursed captain”.
