Luretta Bybee and Elizabeth Kataria

Our esteemed company Opera Carolina is opening this coming weekend in Charlotte their production of Wagner's The Flying Dutchman. As usual, Opera Lively's envoy will attend the opening night on March 22, 2014, and will be publishing a review. In preparation for what promises to be a great show given the quality of the cast, we are interviewing the singers.

Below, we present Luretta Bybee in the role of Mary, famous international Wagnerian star Greer Grimsley in the title role (he has performed Wagner numerous times at the Met, Seattle Opera, and many companies around the world), and Elizabeth Kataria in the role of Senta. Greer and Luretta are husband and wife in real life. [Opera Lively interview # 126 with Bybee, a fragment of #103 with Grimsley, and # 127 with Kataria]
