Der fliegende Holländer is the first masterpiece by Richard Wagner. It is a sweeping opera about compelling desires. A cursed captain - the Dutchman - is doomed to roam the stormy seas forever in his ghost ship. Once every seven years he is allowed ashore to try to find new love and thereby lift the curse.

Senta is the daughter of Captain Daland. In this new production, directed by Lotte de Beer, she is an artist in search of self-expression. She has grown up in a traditional community where men sail the seas and women sit at the spinning wheel. But she longs for the boundless unknown. When she meets the mysterious Dutchman, she feels drawn to his free spirit.
