Richard Wagner's opera “The Flying Dutchman” will be performed on October 31, 2026, at the Staatstheater Kassel – INTERIM. The performance combines the romantic story of a quest for redemption with a contemporary perspective on social and economic issues.
Romantic quest for redemption meets the present
At the center of the opera is the search for redemption. This romantic motif is linked in the production to themes that reach into the present: capitalism, work, and different social life models. This gives the work a current frame of interpretation that extends beyond the classic narrative.
The contemporary production at Staatstheater Kassel – INTERIM invites the audience to view Richard Wagner's opera from a new perspective. Historical themes and modern social questions interact with each other, opening space for personal reflections on work, economic dependencies, and the notions of a successful life.
