This year’s theme is transformation and also includes the main stage productions of Florencia en el Amazonas and The Phoenix, a world premiere. The production is part of HGO’s Seeking the Human Spirit, a six-year multidisciplinary initiative designed to highlight the universal spiritual themes raised in opera as well as expand and deepen Houstonians’ connections to opera and to art. When the two meet, the Dutchman is hopeful, but Senta must decide between her arranged marriage and her overpowering love for the Dutchman. His quest for true love leads him to Senta, a captain’s daughter who has been obsessing over a mystifying portrait of him. HGO’s first Wagner opera since the four-part Ring cycle, The Flying Dutchman is described as a haunting love story in which every seven years, the Dutchman comes ashore for a chance to break the curse that binds him to the desolate seas. The Wortham Theater Center is located at 501 Texas Avenue.
The opera marks the company’s to the Wortham Theater Center after being displaced by Hurricane Harvey for the entire 2017–18 season. This new production by director Tomer Zvulun heightens the dramatic elements of the famous legend of a cursed ghost ship.
