Der Fliegende Hollander (The Flying Dutchman)

After their success of Idomeneo in 2019, Rose Opera perform at Normansfield Theatre in March 2020

A ghost captain (the ‘Flying Dutchman’) is cursed to roam the seas forever, coming ashore only once every seven years. Only if he finds a wife who loves him truly whilst he is ashore can he be freed from this eternal fate. Senta, the daughter of another sea captain, wants to be that wife. But she had previously pledged her love to another, with disastrous results for the ‘Flying Dutchman’. Come and see Rose Opera’s new production of this early Wagner masterpiece. Performed in German with English surtitles, featuring the Rose Opera Orchestra and Chorus.
