Opera North - The Flying Dutchman

Displaced and dispossessed, the Dutchman’s crew are condemned to wander the seas year after year. Every seven years, fate offers them the chance to end this cycle of purgatory. In a world where money, power and bureaucracy hold sway, only one woman, Senta, seems committed to the truth. But can she bring redemption?

Let Wagner’s spine-tingling music take you on a journey through the storm in this bold and timely reinterpretation by acclaimed director/designer team Annabel Arden and Joanna Parker, who together transform The Flying Dutchman into a thrillingly urgent story for our challenging times.
