“…soprano Melody Moore’s brilliant tones—especially her laser-focused top notes—signaled that the heroine’s resolve would never flag.

Moore’s commanding voice and compelling presence established Senta as the real driving force of this opera. Within moments of Moore’s appearance, she sang the rugged opening of Senta’s Ballad with strength and security. Yet when the text and music turned toward the Dutchman’s redemption, Moore’s gentleness showed that Senta already felt compassion for a man she knew only as a legend.”

Texas Classical Review

“Moore has a radiantly dusty voice that’s pure velvet.”

Houston Press

“It’s a special tragedy in Houston Grand Opera’s season opener (a co-production by HGO, Atlanta Opera, and Cincinnati Opera), because the magnificent American soprano Melody Moore sings the role of Senta, and from the very first note out of her lips, you’re not going to want to see her leave the stage ever. Her voice conveys a transcendent purity that should leave no question in anyone’s mind of her undying faithfulness.”

Every seven years, the Dutchman comes ashore for a chance to break the curse that binds him to the desolate seas. His quest for true love leads him to Senta, a captain’s daughter who has been obsessing over a mystifying portrait of him. When the two meet, the Dutchman is hopeful, but Senta must decide between her arranged marriage and her overpowering love for the Dutchman.

HGO’s first Wagner opera since the four-part Ring cycle, this new production of Der Fliegende Holländer heightens the dramatic elements of the famous legend of a cursed ghost ship and features Melody Moore as Senta, Andrzej Dobber in the title role, Kristinn Sigmundsson as Daland and Eric Cutler as Erik. The performances take place from October 19 until November 2.

“La soprano estadounidense Melody Moore ha abordado el rol titular en escenarios como las Óperas de San Francisco y Los Angeles, y demostró una convincente compenetración vocal y actoral con el personaje, en particular en el exigente segundo acto, donde evitó los efectismos en los que caen algunas colegas, desplegó un acertado lenguaje corporal (en particular en su tensa interacción con Scarpia) y manejó muy bien su voz cálida, atractiva y de buenos agudos, entregando además una efectiva y contenida versión de su famoso momento solista Vissi d’arte.”
