Synopsis

The Flying Dutchman is a romantic opera in three acts, composed by Wilhelm Richard Wagner in 1876. The story follows the legend of the cursed Captain of a ghostly ship, the Flying Dutchman, who is doomed to sail the seas for eternity until he finds a woman who will love him faithfully until death. The opera is set in a small Norwegian coastal village, where the Dutchman arrives seeking redemption and meets Senta, a young woman who is fascinated by the legend of the cursed captain. The two fall in love, but their relationship is threatened by the jealous Erik, who is also in love with Senta. With its themes of love, redemption, and the supernatural, The Flying Dutchman is a powerful and haunting work that has become a staple of the operatic repertoire. Wagner's rich and dramatic score, which includes the famous overture and several memorable arias and choruses, has made The Flying Dutchman one of the most beloved operas of all time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
