THE story Of 1.-THE Flying Dutchman,"
wagner's opera that closes the
brilliant season Of the German Grand
Opera Co. in Washington with q mat
inee Tuesday at 2 o'clock, is one all
lovers of. legend know, but Wagner
has treated 1t in such q stirring man
rier that 1T holds charm in the reading
as well as in the stage drama with its
music.
The curtain rises as storm is rag
ing-told with Wagner's forceful over
ture. Senta's father is just bringing
his ship to anchor, the scene rs on the
coast of Norway. He is weary after
his long struggle with the sea and
leaves the ship to the steersman, who,
to keep himself awake, sings a ballad
to the south wind-that is to bring him
home to his beloved. 1t is a lovely tenor
song given by Alexander Larsen.
Out Of the DARK .esS comes the blood
red sails and black masts Of the Dutch,
mans fearful ship with its spectral
crew, whose faces are pale and eyes
phosphorescent. The Dutchman, alone
on his phantom ship, sings che famous
Soliloquy, THE Term Is Ended" For
this is the sailor, Dutch captain, who
once tried to double the Cape Of Good
Hope in the teeth Of furious gale, and
SWore ne would accomplish his pur-
pose, even II he kept sailing on for
ever. The devil heard the oath and
condemned the unhappy captain to sail
the sea until the day Of Judgment. He
Is permitted to come on land once in
seven years. in the hope Of finding the
love Of q faithful woman, which love
will release him from his fate.
This time has again arrived. He tells
It In this aria. strange music, half rec
itative, imaginative and wonderful. 1t
tells Of his hope Of salvation. A night
or so ashore, then another seven years
to roam the sea throughout eternity.
Daland, the. father of Senta, appears
on the deck of the other ship and is
astonished to see the strange craft. He
wakes the steersman, and the two hail
her. The Dutchman asks for q nights
shelter, for which he offers q generous
sum. On hearing that the captain has
fair daughter, he proposes marriage,
a proposal that is left TO the choice
Of the girl, Senta, though the gold has
been lure TO her father. A wind
springs UP, and the boats set sail for
harbor.
Women in Daland's house await his
arrival, spinning. singing, laughing,
chatting among themselves. They sing
the famous Spinning Chorus" with its
light tripping melody and its whirring

Emphasis is placed on the fact that
the libretti Of these various operas have
been carefully revised in order to in
crease their "singability, in the English
language, while another outstanding
feature of all American opera perform
ances is the stress that is laid on the
dramatic interest as well as the music

have the soprano leads in the four
operas to be presented, are youngsters
barely out Of their teens. while the
supporting company creates with its
youth dramatic realism that Is
amazing.
