The story, based on a tale by Heine, has roots in legend. Wagner mentions both the Wandering Jew and Odysseus as sources of his character. The opera's seminal theme of redemption, along with its love triangle, provides the essence of romantic melodrama, transformed by Wagner's stirring music into a timeless expression of musical theater art.
The Dutchman, a sea captain, when faced with daunting storms, swore he would sail for all eternity if necessary to reach his destination. Be as careful in what you swear as you should be in what you wish for: in a Faustian turn, Satan condemns the Dutchman to sail the seas forever, with his only hope for redemption the unconditional love of a woman. The Dutchman is allowed to go ashore once every seven years to seek the woman whose love will save him from his tortured purgatory. The story, based on a tale by Heine, has roots in legend.
