WQED Season Recap - The Flying Dutchman
Saturday, September 7, 2024
1:00 PM
WQED-FM 89.3 and wqed.org/fm
Pittsburgh Opera, in collaboration with Classical WQED-FM 89.3, will broadcast the 2023– 24 season productions, giving listeners an opportunity to enjoy the operas all over again.
Every seven years a ghostly ship pulls into port captained by a man known simply as The Dutchman. Condemned to eternally roam the seven seas, only the pure heart of a faithful bride can free The Dutchman from a demonic curse. In a windswept fishing village, he finds Senta, a young woman obsessed with his dark legend. But can this match made in heaven truly save him from his hellish fate?
Wagner’s thunderous score brings this haunting tale to life with all the power of a stormy and turbulent sea.
The broadcasts are at 1:00 PM, unless otherwise noted, on consecutive Saturdays from August 31st through October 5th.
