Der fliegende Holländer - Wiener Staatsoper (2026)

Directed by Christine Mielitz

Music · 2h 20m

The sailor's daughter Senta takes pity on the centuries-old legendary figure of the Flying Dutchman. He was condemned by Satan to sail the world's oceans until a woman frees him from this curse through her loyalty. One day, when Senta's father returns home from a long voyage with a mysterious man, Senta is the only one who recognizes the Flying Dutchman in the sinister foreign captain. At the cost of self-destruction, she decides to redeem him. Director Christine Mielitz and her set designer Stefan Mayer see Daland's and the Dutchman's ships as an image of the entire world, of life itself, in which we all have to find our way around.
