The Wagner year 2013 brought something special to the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra's concert schedule. The orchestra pulled out all the stops with a full performance of a Wagner's opera Der Fliegende Holländer in concert version. Making multiple appearance at Bayreuth, Andris Nelsons has certainly earned his spurs as a Wagner specialist.
