Description
Since 1996, the St. Margarethen Quarry (65 km southeast of Vienna) has been a leading meeting place for international opera lovers in Europe. In 2025, The Flying Dutchman will be the first Wagner opera to be performed.
On the rugged coast between the fjords of Norway
The captain's daughter, Senta, fantasizes in melancholy daydreams about the gruesome figure of a sailor condemned to eternal life, who is only allowed to go ashore every seven years to win the love of a woman. Such love and unbreakable loyalty until death alone can free the undead from his curse.
No composer before Richard Wagner has set the roar of the raging sea to music so thrillingly, nor has anyone been able to imbue the terror of a ghost ship with such vivid sound. Running less than two and a half hours, the first-ever production of a work by Richard Wagner at the "Opera in the Quarry" promises a fascinating summer experience, where the rugged rocky landscape of the St. Margarethen Quarry once again becomes the ideal backdrop for a thrilling operatic performance.
