Der fliegende Holländer - Schedule, Program & Tickets
Der fliegende Holländer
The captain's daughter Senta fantasizes in melancholy daydreams about the gruesome figure of a sailor condemned to eternal life, who is only allowed to go ashore every seven years to win the love of a woman. Such love and unbreakable loyalty until death alone can free the undead from his curse.
No composer before Richard Wagner has set the roar of the raging sea to music so stirringly, no one has been able to give the terror of a ghost ship such a vivid sound. With a running time of less than two and a half hours, the first ever production of a work by Richard Wagner at the "Opera in the Quarry" promises a fascinating summer experience, in which the rugged rocky landscape of the St. Margarethen quarry once again becomes the ideal backdrop for a thrilling opera performance.
