Asmik Grigorian performs Senta’s Ballad from Wagner’s “Der Fliegende Hollander” at the Bayreuth Festival, Summer 2021. Conductor: Oksana Lyniv Director: Dmitri Tcherniakov Footage courtesy of 3 Sat/Bayreuth Festival
Oh my God, what a performance!!! Wow! I have watched it several times now, with shivers down my spine. Asmik Grigorian is Senta, both in voice and character! It's too bad about the cut-off at the end of this clip--would really love to see the whole performance if recorded.
If she would sing louder it would be perfect. Unlike many singer she sings the ballad very clearly, she sings not agressive neither she sings to too soft. It seems like that she really feels what the ballad is about.
