A ghost ship that can never make port, doomed to sail the oceans forever. After storms and high seas, true love arrives. Der Fliegende Hollander represents the beginning of Wager's artistic maturity and marks his first step towards the creation of 'Music Drama'. Based on Scandinavian folklore Wagner wrote this magnificent and romantic mythical opera inspired by his own stormy sea crossing experience. Both the music and libretto were written by the maestro himself. Since its premiere, Der Fliegende Hollander has always been one of Wagner's most performed operas, attributing greatly to its gloomy and magical texture that mixes with relaxing and elegant touches occasionally, its composition method that fuses human voice perfectly with orchestral music, its story of intertwined love and fate, and its profound philosophical theme of sacrifice and redemption.  

As the opening program of the NCPA Opera Festival 2012, Der Fliegende Hollander marks NCPA's first Wagner production. The year 2013 will witness the 200th anniversary of the birth of Wagner, and NCPA takes the initiative to delicate this production to the commemoration of the great composer. In the production of Der Fliegende Hollander, NCPA sticks to the advanced internationalization production idea of gathering top-notch artists worldwide, as it always does. The production team is a premium lineup led by extremely talented opera conductor Gian-Carlo del Monaco. All main characters are sung by outstanding artists who have rich experience in performing German and Austrian operas. The stage, combining realistic and imaginary representation, is on a par with the best 3D magical epic films: the spooky ghost ship and high-tech application of veiling, silk, and 12 large projection screens create lifelike scenes of roaring waves and violent winds on the sea. With the magnificent music, the opera emanates a supernatural force, carrying the audiences to experience vividly the misery and despair of the Dutchman who sails across oceans and belongs nowhere, and his compassion and calmness after he is redeemed by pure love and all turbulence and sufferings are gone.
