In Review: Bouley and Andreassen in Opera San Jose's "Der fliegende Holländer"


"Daland, played by Gustav Andreassen, is both bubbly and forthright, portraying a lost seaman who is blind to the mythical consequences of such a valuable dowry. . . The standout performance, however, goes to the show's namesake, the Dutchman. Played by Noel Bouley with a palpable sense of ethereal despondency, Bouley brings the character alive with his astounding and rich baritone. Together, the cast finds moments of humor that don't feel corny and moments of horror that don't feel forced, working through each of the story's steps with an understated believability." -MetroActive.com
