About Atlanta Opera and The Flying Dutchman
The Atlanta Opera is one of the most celebrated regional opera companies in the United States. Founded in 1979, the company has built a national reputation for bold productions, world-class casting, and a deep commitment to making opera accessible to Atlanta audiences. From intimate chamber works to full-scale grand opera, The Atlanta Opera consistently delivers performances that stand alongside productions in New York, Chicago, and San Francisco.
Der fliegende Holländer — known in English as The Flying Dutchman — is a cornerstone of the Wagnerian repertoire and one of the composer's most immediately accessible works. The opera tells the story of a cursed sea captain condemned to sail the oceans for eternity, granted only a brief chance at salvation through the love of a faithful woman. Wagner composed the work in 1841, and its storm-tossed overture remains one of the most recognizable passages in all of opera. The score is raw, romantic, and relentlessly dramatic — equal parts ghost story and love story.
The Atlanta Opera's production of Flying Dutchman promises the company's signature blend of theatrical intensity and musical excellence. Atlanta operagoers attending this Atlanta Opera Flying Dutchman performance will experience Wagner's vision at its most visceral and emotionally direct. This is the kind of production that converts first-timers into lifelong opera fans.
