The Flying Dutchman - Trailer

OperaUpClose in partnership with Manchester Camerata, present Wagner's The Flying Dutchman - setting sail this summer to extraordinary venues across the UK.

Poet and novelist Glyn Maxwell’s English libretto and award-winning composer Laura Bowler’s 8-piece chamber orchestration combine in a fresh and radically rethought version of a classic. A haunting political tale exploring the psychology and realities of living on an island with hardening borders, The Flying Dutchman is a bold reimagination of this epic fable.

Featuring recordings of community singing groups from across the UK alongside a cast of world-renowned opera singers and players, this is intensely powerful and involved musical storytelling bringing The Flying Dutchman to life as an urgent, contemporary tale for our times.
