Der Fliegende Holländer Opera Tickets — Wagner at the Vienna State Opera

Tomasz Konieczny — one of the world's leading Wagner bass-baritones — sings the cursed Dutchman in Christine Mielitz's atmospheric production, alongside Camilla Nylund as the devoted Senta and Eric Cutler as Erik. Pablo Heras-Casado conducts, with Günther Groissböck as Daland.

Wagner's first mature opera (1843) tells the story of a ghostly sea captain condemned to sail the oceans for eternity, who may only be redeemed by a woman's unconditional love. The score captures the fury of the sea, the supernatural terror of the ghost ship, and the transcendent power of Senta's sacrifice with elemental force. From the thundering Overture to Senta's Ballad and the redemptive finale, this is Wagner at his most viscerally exciting — performed without interval in a single, overwhelming sweep.

What makes this event stand out is the way score, staging and venue work together rather than as separate elements.

Vienna State Opera in Vienna is part of the decision, not just a location label: scale, sightlines and atmosphere all influence the night.
