he new production of Wagner’s masterwork The Flying Dutchman was funded by a generous gift to the New Century Campaign from The John A. Schroth Family Charitable Trust, PNC Bank, Trustee, in support of The Great Works pillar of the New Century Campaign. This modern retelling of The Flying Dutchman celebrates Cincinnati Opera’s return to the renovated Music Hall, showcasing its new artistic and technological capabilities. Scenic designer Jacob A. Climer’s sets and costumes are enhanced by large-scale projections designed by S. Katy Tucker, allowing audiences to rediscover this Wagner masterpiece in an awe-inspiring new concept. The New Century Campaign continues to successfully build capacity for Cincinnati Opera and fund significant projects in four key areas: The Great Works, continuing our commitment to the masterworks of the operatic canon; The New Works, expanding the canon by creating and presenting new American opera; The Convener in the Community, broadening our reach within the community; and The Beyond, exploring innovative ways of connecting audiences with opera.
