Le Vaisseau fantôme (Der Fliegende Holländer) by Richard Wagner
"Le Vaisseau fantôme (Der Fliegende Holländer)" by Richard Wagner is an opera composed in 1841 and premiered in 1843. A ghostly captain is condemned to sail the seas eternally until redeemed by a woman's love. Inspired by Heinrich Heine's retelling of a maritime legend, Wagner encountered the story during a harrowing sea voyage through a Norwegian fjord. The opera marks a transition in Wagner's style, introducing themes of wandering, sacrifice, and redemption
that would define his later works. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
