Dr. Stephen Hinton – Der fliegende Holländer

Wagner himself wrote of Holländer “From here begins my career as a poet, and my farewell to the mere concoter of opera texts”. Stanford Music Professor Dr. Hinton spoke on Holländer in preview lectures for the San Francisco Opera Guild in October 2013. However, Dr. Hinton’s talk was only able to skim the surface of this music drama which changed opera forever. Dr. Hinton will expand further on aspects of Holländer’s unique musical language and ground breaking structure.
