Please note: Due to the MET’s cancellation of its live performance in New York City as a result of New York State regulations, we are unable to broadcast the performance of Der Fliegende Holländer or host Opera Connection’s discussion of the broadcast.

Opera expert/writer-producer Dennis Neil Kleinman will lead a lively discussion on Der Fliegende Holländer (Wagner). Doors open an hour before – come early for coffee and pastries!
