| Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Wednesday 3-Jul-13 07:00pm Die Fliegende Holländer Heinrich Heine wrote the story of the seafarer who yearns for deliverance from a curse through the faithful love of a woman. The master of romantic irony pieced together a fictitious play from various seafaring sagas and created a brilliant parody of the romantic melodramas, which Richard Wagner, however, took seriously. In the unhappy hero, who will not give up his aim of sailing round a dangerous cape despite the severest of storms, Wagner recognised a man who does not simply accept the world order, but seeks to overthrow it, even if he is punished with a terrible curse. To the young composer and revolutionary, this man must have seemed a kindred spirit; equally so the young woman, whose life’s dream is to escape the narrow confines of her father’s house and rescue the seafarer. She is a woman who aspires to unconditional self-fulfilment. Against all resistance, she asserts her vision of a fulfilled existence, and takes to its logical extreme the idea of remaining true to herself. The encounter of the two figures ends tragically, but in Wagner’s eyes they do not fail because of the world; the world fails because of them. A few years later, Wagner stood on the barricades in Dresden in an attempt to transform into reality his dream of a world redeemed and determined by love…
In this production, two outstanding singers, Bryn Terfel and Anja Kampe, will be giving their débuts at Zurich Opera, and Matti Salminen can once again be heard as Daland. The young conductor Alain Altinoglu has already made the leap to some of the major opera houses. The Flying Dutchman is Director Andreas Homoki’s first production in Zurich.
