Description
In his youth, Wagner created his fastest moving and perhaps his most effective score with The Flying Dutchman. It's the easiest to listen to and it has real melodies that convey the ancient legend of the immortal Dutchman. As the legend goes, a ship's captain is cursed to live until he can find someone who will love him until death. On this unique day he meets Senta, who has been obsessed with his legend from childhood. However, in the legend, she must die to free him from eternal life on earth, which has become a living hell. It is a brilliant story with one of the most compelling roles in all of opera, and it's Wagner!The Flying Dutchman will be sung in German with English supertitles. Runtime is approximately three hours. Opera San Jose presents six performances of this opera, opening in San Jose's California Theatre on February 10, 2018, closing February 25, 2018. The California Theatre is at 345 S. First Street in downtown San Jose.
