Summary "The Flying Dutchman (Der Fliegende Hollaender): Romantic Opera in Three Acts" by Richard Wagner is a romantic opera written in the 19th century. This book serves as the libretto for Wagner's opera, capturing the essence of the story through its poetic dialogue and lyrics. The central theme revolves around love and redemption, focusing on the legend of the cursed ship and its captain, the Flying Dutchman. The opera unfolds in three acts, beginning with the Norwegian sailor Daland encountering the ghostly ship of the Flying Dutchman during a storm. Daland strikes a bargain with the Dutchman, agreeing to offer his daughter Senta as a bride in exchange for treasures. Senta is captivated by the Dutchman's tragic story and vows to be faithful to him, believing that her love can save him from his curse. The conflict escalates as Erik, Senta's former lover, confronts the Dutchman, leading to intense emotional turmoil. Senta ultimately proves her unwavering love by sacrificing herself, plunging into the sea to free the Dutchman from his eternal torment and ensuring their salvation together in death. The opera explores themes of love, fidelity, and the transcendence of the human spirit against the backdrop of haunting maritime folklore. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
