The Flying Dutchman Opera Tickets

Come experience an unforgettable opera performance with The Flying Dutchman tickets. The Flying Dutchman, originally named Der fliegende Hollander, is a German-based opera libretto and music by Richard Wagner. The central theme of the opera rotates around themes of love and redemption. The Flying Dutchman follows the story of sea captain Daland. Because of treacherous weather, Daland is forced to seek refuge in southern Norway. While he is sleeping, Daland’s ship is visited by a ghostly specter and a pale man dressed in black takes the stage and steps ashore. Daland then meets the stranger who asks for Daland’s daughter’s hand in marriage, to which Daland agrees. As the story continues, Dalands daughter finds herself in an unfortunate love triangle with the unknown specter and her former boyfriend Erik.

Throughout the story, there are maidens, duels, numerous musical numbers, and several misunderstandings that lead to hijinks that follow Daland and his daughter. The Flying Dutchman first premiered in 1840 and was based on the satire by Heinrich Heine, “The Memoirs of Mister von Schnabelewopski.” The Flying Dutchman would go to receive greater acclaim and prominence than its predecessor.
