Herbert Fritsch’s new Flying Dutchman at the Komische Oper Berlin has them rolling in the aisles.

The veteran German direcrtor has modelled his staging on Pirates of the Caribbean with Günter Papendell in the Jonny Depp role, morphing into scenes from a 1920s Berlin cabaret.

Sounds like fun. Revew here.

Next at the Komische: Parsifal?
