About The Atlanta Opera and Flying Dutchman
The Atlanta Opera is the city's premier professional opera company and one of the most respected regional opera companies in the United States. Founded in 1979, the company has built a decades-long reputation for presenting grand-scale productions that rival anything staged in New York, Chicago, or San Francisco. The Atlanta Opera consistently attracts internationally acclaimed singers, conductors, and directors, bringing the full weight of operatic tradition to Georgia audiences with a commitment to artistic excellence that never wavers.
Der fliegende Holländer — known in English as The Flying Dutchman — is one of Wagner's most dramatically gripping works and a cornerstone of the operatic canon. Composed in 1841, the opera tells the story of a cursed sea captain condemned to sail the oceans for eternity, doomed unless he can find a woman whose love remains true. Wagner's score is sweeping and atmospheric, filled with towering orchestral passages and vocally demanding roles that push performers to the peak of their craft. The overture alone is considered one of the most electrifying pieces in all of opera.
When The Atlanta Opera stages Flying Dutchman, it brings the full force of its production design, orchestral talent, and vocal casting to bear on a story that resonates as powerfully today as it did nearly two centuries ago. This is opera at its most primal and emotionally raw — a production that demands to be experienced live.
