About the show

Director Lotte de Beer returns to Dutch National Opera, where she has chosen to interpret Der fliegende Holländer from the perspective of Senta as a free-spirited artist. The world Senta lives in resembles a painting from a romanticised past that she has become trapped in. The Dutchman is like a muse to her, inspiring her to break free from the familiar. But his nihilism finally drives her to find her own voice.
