The Flying Dutchman is not only the title of the Wagner opera that begins this concert, but also the name of a ghost ship from the Pirates of the Caribbean film series. This programme features a range of works inspired by the sea, from Wagner's well-known leitmotifs to the adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow, from the exuberance and sensuality of Scheherazade to the menacing shark immortalised by Steven Spielberg. An evening of striking melodies to mark the start of summer.
