The Flying Dutchman (Chorus) - Vancouver Opera

Julia Rooney is excited to take part in this epic operatic tale with Greg Dala in the title role and a spectacular cast. Based on a European maritime legend, The Flying Dutchman tells the haunting story of a sailor and his daughter who encounter a ghost during a storm on the sea. The Dutchman, who has been condemned to wander for eternity, is searching for a bride to finally bring him peace. This tragic tale of love and sacrifice is the composer’s first masterpiece and features magnificent orchestration of Wagnerian proportions. This will be a new production for Vancouver Opera, directed by Brian Deedrick and conducted by Leslie Dala.

Sung in German with English SURTITLES™
