Richard Wagner's opera “The Flying Dutchman” premiered in Dresden in 1843. In 2007 the opera was last performed at the Meininger Theater. In October 2021 it was re-staged by Kay Metzger.

A curse rests on the Dutchman, who has to sail the oceans forever until a woman promises him eternal loyalty. Every seven years he is allowed to go ashore to find such a woman. He meets Daland, who wants to give him his daughter Senta as his wife, as the future son-in-law promises the long-awaited wealth. Senta already knows the fate of the Dutchman and believes that she is destined to redeem him. When Daland leads the Dutchman to his daughter, the two recognize each other: Senta swears allegiance to him until death. But the love of the two is put to a severe test when Senta is accused of having already pledged her loyalty to another. The Dutch feel cheated, all denial is pointless. As he sails away, Senta plunges into the water.

Various sources inspired Richard Wagner to write his opera, premiered in 1843, about the mythical figure of the restless Dutchman looking for redemption, in which the forces of nature reflect the expression of the soul. The longing for death, the woman's willingness to make sacrifices, the death of love and redemption, these are the four topoi of his first romantic opera, which also determine his subsequent work.

Kay Metzger, born in 1960, studied theater studies in Munich. There he began his theater career as assistant to August Everding, with whom he co-directed “Die Meistersänger von Nürnberg” in Meiningen in 1994. After many years of directorship at the Nordharzer Städtebundtheater and the Landestheater Detmold, Metzger has been director of the Ulm Theater since the 2018/19 season.
