The Flying Dutchman: Opéra de Montréal

About the Event

To celebrate Wagner's 200th birthday, this early masterpiece premieres at the Opéra de Montréal. The Flying Dutchman is a sailor's story of love, death and transcendence driven by a tempestuous orchestra and magnificent seaworthy voices.

Senta is in love with the mysterious captain to whom her father Daland has promised her hand in marriage. She doesn’t know that he is a ghost: the phantom “Flying Dutchman,” has been banished to wander the seas forever, unless he can find a woman able to love him.

Performed in German with French and English surtitles.
