Dutchman

For centuries, the Flying Dutchman sails the seas, condemned to live until he can find salvation in the love of a truly faithful woman. Senta, a teenage village girl on the Norwegian coast, proves faithful to the death. This is love, betrayal, and redemption Wagner style. Der fliegende Holländer is an early work of genius, and the last of Wagner’s italianate operas.

All performances are at Lucie Stern Community Theatre, 1305 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto. Curtain time is 8:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays, 2:00 PM on Sundays. (Directions)
