The Flying Dutchman


Book Description

When the curtain rises, a bevy of Norwegian Girls, among whom are Daland's daughter, Senta and her nurse Mary, are discovered turning their spinning wheels and singing a spinning song. A picture of the "Flying Dutchman" adorns the wall, and Senta, after singing a ballad sketching in incoherent, passionate strains, a story of the subject of the picture, solemnly vows that she will become the means of terminating the torment, to which the "Flying Dutchman" is subjected, and who can only be saved by a woman unwaveringly constant in her love. During the confusion which ensues upon this avowal, the father's arrival is announced. In the time intervening between this announcement and Daland's arrival, Erik, Senta's lover, pleads for his love, and endeavors to persuade Senta that her infatuation for a phantom lover will lead to her irretrievable ruin; but to no avail. Daland arrives and presents the "Flying Dutchman" to his daughter. Senta accepts him as her affianced husband.

Book Description

Excerpt from The Flying Dutchman: Der Fliegende Hollander This story reminds us of an American legend of the Hudson, related by Washington Irving in his early tales of the Dutch in New Amster dam, of which legend there is still a reminder in Spuyten Duyvil Creek. It also brings Cole ridge's Ancient Mariner to mind. That mariner is under a curse and must pass like night from land to land. Recall the description of his vessel.

De fliegender Hollander


Book Description

Der fliegender Hollander is the first of Wagner's operas considered to be representative of his mature style. Originally taken from a story by the poet Heinrich Heine, it embodies one of the major themes that recur throughout Wagner's work, that of a central character seeking redemption through a loving woman. Wagner here extended and enriched his musical and dramaturgical language to produce an opera of extraordinary power.
