The search for redemption through love—a theme Richard Wagner was to revisit many times—is set to some of his most gloriously romantic music.

The Dutchman is a legendary figure, condemned to sail the seas without release. Every seven years he may come ashore for a day, and if on that day he can find a woman who will vow to love him until death, the curse will be broken.

Senta is bewitched by a portrait of this mythical seaman, with whom she feels her own destiny is linked; this belief is put to the test when the mysterious and enigmatic man finally appears before her.
