Richard Wagner's "The Flying Dutchman" ("Der Fliegende Hollander") is a masterpiece of the Romantic era, a gripping exploration of love, death, purity, and damnation. In this production by Alex Olle, the conflict between food and evil is a reflection of a tormented, imprisoned soul.

The Dutchman, condemned to sail across an infinite ocean until the end of time, desires only to be released from his doomed vessel and return to a life on land. The sea, infinite and transcendent, becomes a powerful metaphor for the ultimate limits imposed on man.
