Wagner’s The Flying Dutchman
Opera Holland Park
May – June 2025
This season, I am excited to perform in Richard Wagner’s The Flying Dutchman at Opera Holland Park.
Premiered in 1843, The Flying Dutchman is Wagner’s first great opera — a dramatic and atmospheric story of love, obsession, and redemption, shaped by the power of the sea and its legends. Haunted by a terrible curse, the Dutchman is doomed to sail the oceans for eternity unless he can find salvation through the love of a faithful woman. When Senta, the daughter of a sea captain, recognises him from an ancient painting, their instant connection offers a glimmer of hope — but fate may have other plans.
Blending Gothic mystery with soaring romanticism, and rich with stormy choruses, sailors’ ballads, and intense psychological drama, The Flying Dutchman marks a thrilling highlight of the Opera Holland Park 2025 season.
