Step into the storm

Legend has it The Flying Dutchman is doomed to sail the ocean for all eternity. Only true and committed love can bring freedom. Once every seven years, the ship’s captain may set foot on land in search of it. Consumed by the sad tale, Senta is determined to be the woman to save the Dutchman. Will their chance meeting finally bring salvation, or tragedy?

Discover the legend for yourself in this new production by Annabel Arden, designed by Joanna Parker, with some of Wagner’s most bracing music to propel you through the storm.

Supported by The Flying Dutchman Circle and the Friends of Opera North.
