Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Flying Dutchman: Der Fliegende Hollander Wagner had written two acts of his Rienzi, - his imagination was on fire, - and he resolved to go to Paris and storm the Grand Opera, feeling sure that something must come of it. He set sail in a small vessel from Pillau on the Baltic with his young wife and a great dog. They were blown about the Baltic for three weeks in a terrific storm, and put into a desolate Norwegian harbor for shelter. On that tempestuous voyage there came to its fulness of conception the theme of The Flying Dutchman, of which he was already thinking. He wrote: "Three times we suffered from the effect of heavy storms. The passage through the Narrows made a wondrous impression on my fancy. The legend of The Flying Dutchman was confirmed by the sailors, and the circumstances gave it a distinct and characteristic color in my mind." The legend is an old one, much older than the story which those daring Dutch navigators of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries had somehow made their own. It is a mediaeval version of Ulysses, "the unresting traveller, yearning for home and domestic joys." It is a maritime version of Ahasuerus, the Wandering Jew, "accursed and hopeless of all save the end in oblivion." The Kundry of Parsifal, who came later, is another variation of the theme of one condemned to perpetual wandering and weary existence.
