	Wagner notes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		This opera, based on an episode from Heinrich Heine's "Memoirs of Herr von Schnabelewopski," relates the legend of the Flying Dutchman, who, attempting to round the Cape of Good Hope in a furious storm, swore he would succeed if it meant sailing for eternity.
		This opera represents a decisive development in Wagner's operas; namely, the use of leitmotifs that represent characters, emotions, objects, etc. Wagner used leitmotifs to give a sense of unity within a large musical framework while breaking free from the set pieces and conventions of earlier Romantic opera.
		The two principle leitmotifs are presented in the overture: the Dutchman's motif in the opening theme, and a slower, lyrical motif representing the sacrificial love of the eternal woman.

	Richard Wagner - Overture To The Flying Dutchman
		"The Flying Dutchman," composed in 184i and produced in 1843, was the first opera in which Wagner realized something of his new ideas of music drama.
		In the figure of the Dutchman doomed, unless he should find the loving and rescuing woman, to sail the seas forever, he saw himself, alone and adrift in a hostile, uncomprehending world, seeking beauty and the realization of his genius.
		But it is of interest, especially in view of Cosima Wagner's later attempts to minimize the influence of Wagner's first wife, that in the first draft of the libretto of "The Flying Dutchman" the heroine, now named Senta, was called Minna.
