Der fliegende Holländer
*Der fliegende Holländer* (The Flying Dutchman) is an opera by Richard Wagner, first performed in 1843, based on the legend of a ghostly ship doomed to sail the seas forever. The story follows the cursed Dutchman captain, who can only be redeemed by the faithful love of a woman—embodied by Senta, who sacrifices herself to save him.
