Synopsis

The Flying Dutchman is a romantic opera composed by Wilhelm Richard Wagner in 1876. The story follows the legend of a cursed sailor, the Dutchman, who is doomed to sail the seas for eternity unless he can find a woman who will love him unconditionally and remain faithful to him until death. The opera is set in Norway and tells the story of the Dutchman's encounter with a young woman named Senta, who becomes obsessed with the legend of the Dutchman and longs to save him from his curse. As their relationship develops, Senta's devotion to the Dutchman is tested by her family and community, who disapprove of her fascination with the cursed sailor. The Flying Dutchman is known for its haunting melodies and lush orchestration, and is considered one of Wagner's most accessible works.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.
