Der Fliegende Hollaender by Richard Wagner

"Der Fliegende Hollaender" by Richard Wagner is a German-language opera composed in 1841. The work tells the legendary tale of a cursed sea captain doomed to sail the oceans forever, with only one hope for salvation: redemption through the love of a faithful woman. Inspired by Wagner's own stormy voyage and Heinrich Heine's retelling of the myth, this opera marks Wagner's early experimentation with leitmotifs and his ambition to break operatic tradition.
