DETAILS

Wagner almost experienced a shipwreck, which inspired him to write this opera early in his career based on a modern English legend about a Dutch ship captain who is doomed to sail the oceans forever as punishment for his blasphemy. The story tells how the love of the young maiden, Senta, saves the cursed Dutch captain. Salvation through love and self-sacrifice became a common theme in all of Wagner's works thereafter.

Praised as clear and straightforward, Matthias von Stegmann's production delivers ghost ships and more, for an enjoyable sense of the spectacular. This performance is recommended for anyone who tends to avoid Wagner's operas in favour of more easily decipherable works.

Conductor Marc Albrecht, renowned particularly for late Romantic period repertoire and considered one of the world's greatest conductors, will make his NNTT debut. One of the world's best Holländer singers, Evgeny Nikitin returns to the role of Holländer that he performed with the NNTT's 2012 Der fliegende Holländer--with intense charisma and dark charm that captivated audiences. Senta will be Elisabet Strid, who has demonstrated talent for the role, while Erik will be UK rising-star heldentenor, Jonathan Stoughton.

SYNOPSIS

A Dutch ghost ship eternally wanders the seas until its cursed captain can find a woman who will pledge herself to him. Once in every seven years he is permitted to land to search for such a one, and when he does he meets Senta, daughter of Daland, another sea-captain.

Senta, feeling this to be a fated encounter, rejects the pleas of her suitor Erik, and pursues Holländer, throwing herself into the waves in order to save him. With this, the spell is broken, the ghost ship sinks with a terrifying sound, and Senta and Holländer are borne into heaven in each other's arms.
