Der fliegende Holl盲nder, The Flying Dutchman, has been condemned for eternity to sail his ship, and only once every seven years is allowed to come ashore to seek redemption by a faithful woman. The raging storm has driven the Dutchman to a Norwegian harbour where he moors beside Daland. He's impressed by the Dutchman's wealth and offers him shelter, and is no less impressed by the Dutchman's interest in his daughter, Senta. The Dutchman hopes he has found his redemption in Senta, who is looking for a change to her mundane life, and she eagerly accepts the Dutchman's declaration of love and his proposal. But he wrongly thinks she is unfaithful, so returns to his ship and sets sail without her.

The starry cast at the Met includes Anja Kampe's Met debut as Senta and the bass-baritone Evgeny Nikitin as the Dutchman.
Today's performance from the Metropolitan Opera House is presented by Mary-Jo Heath with commentator Ira Siff.
