 One-act opera in three acts to music by Richard Wagner. Musical Director and Conductor: Philip Chizhevsky. Stage director: Konstantin Bogomolov. Production Designer: Larisa Lomakina. The production of R. Wagner's The Flying Dutchman is the first experience of coproduction between Russian theaters: Novaya Opera and the Tchaikovsky Perm Opera and Ballet Theater. On the Perm stage, screenings took place in April 2023, and the Moscow premiere of the production in October will open the 33rd season of the Novaya Opera Theater. The production of The Flying Dutchman is dedicated to the 180th anniversary of its world premiere in Dresden (1843). The opera was first performed in Russia 125 years ago as part of the St. Petersburg tour of Hans Richter's German company (1898). A few years later, the first Russian production took place at the Bolshoi Theater (under the title Sailor Skitalez, 1902). A historic project was realized on the same stage: in 2004 The Flying Dutchman became the first co-production with the Bavarian Opera. It is symbolic that today this very work has set another precedent - an example of theatrical coproduction within Russia.
