Der fliegende Holländer -  (The Flying Dutchman)

Mannheim

Germany

Opernhaus

A captain is cursed to sail the seas of the world forever, only allowed to make landfall once every seven years. Will he find the love of a faithful woman to break the curse?

Richard Wagner came across the legend of The Flying Dutchman in 1838 through Heinrich Heine’s From the Memoirs of Herr von Schnabelewopski. After a stormy voyage from Riga to London – Wagner was again on the run from creditors – he chose the material for his next opera and began to compose it, with the unpredictable power of the sea still fresh on his face. Against the backdrop of this wild nature, Wagner exposes  in Holländer his utopia of a love that transcends, offered as an antidote to the 19th century zeitgeist of pounding industrialisation and economic growth. Roger Vontobel’s new production from Mannheim is streamed live on the opening night and audiences around the world can share in some of the most rousing music written in opera.

Streamed LIVE on OperaVision on 24 April 2022 at 19:00 CET and available until 24 October 2022: https://operavision.eu/en/library/per...

The Flying Dutchman

Ingliż

Approved

A curse weighs on the Flying Dutchman: He must sail the seven seas for all eternity without ever finding peace. He is only allowed to go ashore every seven years to look for a woman who will redeem him from his fate through unconditional love. In the dreamy Senta - she too is a restless woman who does not want to fit into a bourgeois world determined by economic interests - he finally finds what he has been looking for for so long: loyalty until death.

Richard Wagner came across the legend of the Flying Dutchman in 1838 through Heinrich Heine's »Memoirs of Herr von Schnabelewopski«. After a stormy voyage from Riga to London – Wagner was once again on the run from creditors – he chose the material for his next opera and began to compose it, still fresh in the face of the unpredictable power of the sea. Against the backdrop of this wild nature, Wagner unfolds the utopia of a love that points to the transcendent in »Dutch« as an alternative to the 19th century zeitgeist characterized by industrialization and economization - and thus finds his way to one of the central themes of his operatic work.

After »Fidelio« and »Il trovatore« in Mannheim, director Roger Vontobel is devoting himself to another milestone in operatic history with »The Flying Dutchman«.
