A Norwegian brig is driven out of her course on the homeward voyage, and near the rockbound Norwegian Coast meets with the phantom ship of the “Flying Dutchman.” Daland, the captain of the Norwegian vessel, enters into a compact with the “Flying Dutchman” whose identity, however, is unknown to him, to give him a home and his daughter, Senta, for a wife, in consideration of the rich treasures stored away in the “Flying Dutchman’s” ship.
Sie sind schon alt und bleich statt roth; Ach! ihre Liebsten, die sind todt! Ah, well! they have no loved ones on the strand; Their sweethearts died while they roamed in foreign land. Hei! Seeleute! Spannt Eure Segel doch auf! Und zeigt uns des fliegenden Holländers Lauf! Ho! sailors, ho! hoist the sails, quick, quick! And show us the Flying Dutchman’s trick. Sie hören nicht, uns graust es hier!
