He was condemned by Satan to sail the world's oceans until a woman frees him from this curse through her loyalty. One day, when Senta's father returns home from a long voyage with a mysterious man, Senta is the only one who recognizes the Flying Dutchman in the sinister foreign captain. At the cost of self-destruction, she decides to redeem him.

Der fliegende Holländer

Vienna State Opera

The Balthasar Neumann Orchestra and Balthasar Neumann Choir present music by Gabriel Fauré and Max Reger. Fauré's Requiem is one of the most popular settings of the liturgical mass for the dead. With their late Romantic chromaticism, Reger’s works make the greatest demands on singers. French conductor Lionel Sow was director of the Maîtrise Notre-Dame de Paris and the Choir of the Orchestre de Paris, and for several years has led the choir of the National Forum of Music in Wrocław.
