The youthful Steersman tries 1 keep himself awake hy singing a sailor’ love song, but seep soon oversomes in, tnd a strange thip anchors alongside hie vessel. A stem-looking man Aeveend in hla appears on deck, tis th» Dutchman, who tells us about his fate every seven years he i flowed to land in searck of a woman Who willbe Faithful to him unto death. Only suck a ‘oman can release him fromm his curse, If he fails to Finder, he mans spe the rest of is ming the seven seas, shunned by everyane, even pitates. When Deland meets this ‘he asks him avho he is and leams that dhe Dutchman is seeking a sae place for hime, and és willing to offer a good share of his weasure fo it The Dutchman also asks Daland if he has a daught, and when the answer is afTinative, be immediatly proposes 10 ‘mary he, offering Daland untold wealth in exchange. He shows him a chest Fal of riches, snd the greedy Norwegian accepts at once. He invites the Dutchman to follow him to his home, which is no fr avy, andthe act ends with the sailors singing again as they prepare to steer thee ship into the own harbor. acTiL “The act opens in Dalant’s hone with the familiar Spinning Chorus, whichis sung by a group of Norwezian gir, insiuding Senta and her nurse, Mary, as they sit spinning and expecting the return of ther fathers brothers and sweethearts on Daland’s ship. The scene is dominated by a large portat ofthe Fiving Dutchman, whois, «p to this moment, only a legend. Bu te {egend bas completely captured the imagiation of young Senta, Daland's daughter, and she sings a halla that relates the Dutchman's story She yows that she herself wil be the woman fatal unto death‘8 young huntsman, Bik, now arrives with the news that Dalan’s ship is inthe harbor. Everyone goes off o pret the eturing crew except Erk, who detains Senta fora while, He is in love with her and expects to marry her, but he is deeply disturbed by her senge fascination for the legend ofthe Flying Dutchinan. Desperately he tees to persuade het {0 come f0 her senses and marry him, but she gives only vague, equivocal answers, Theie conversation is ended by the atival af her father who brings along the Dutchman bimselt He looks so much like the picture that thee can be no doubt as to who he is and whe her father tells of his plans ro marry Senta to his guest, she agrees atomee, a i in & tance.

For 4 long while ther entreaties go unheeded, but thon the erew ofthe Dutch ship answers int brief, mysterious and almost derisive fashion. The Norwegians ate mystified and soon par. (Once more Erik pleads with Sent fo give up her infatuation with the Flying Dutchman aud to retum to her old love. The Dutchman, everhearing the young man pressing his st misunderstands the situation and decides that Senta like all other women, is unfaithful to him. Despite her pleas, be orders his men to prepare ta sil yet once agai, sod he boards his ship. In desperation Serta climbs high up on the hill. "I shall be faithfal unto death” she ries, and she flings herself down into the for.
