IN FEW WORDS:
In 1839, on board the “Thetis”, the young Wagner heard the sailors
evoke the legend of the “Cursed Mariner”. Stubbornly persisting in his desire
to follow a dangerous course in a storm, a Dutch captain defies heaven and as
punishment is doomed to eternally roam the seas unless a woman agrees to die
with him. Senta recounts the legend when she first
appears on stage.
When the Dutchman suddenly appears, the
romantic young woman does not hesitate to accept the hand he extends and that
will lead her towards the ultimate sacrifice. Wagner’s first masterpiece, Der
fliegende Holländer, brings together the themes dear to the composer: restless
wandering, redemption through death and unbridled emotions all brilliantly
conveyed by the orchestra. In his production, Willy Decker spares no effort in
portraying the storm which rages as much in the music as in the protagonists’
hearts.
