Girl_Interrupted

Girl Interrupted There have been many great operas composed throughout recent history. In many of these operas there is a plot or theme that has been taken from an ancient myth, legend, or story. Most of the composers in history maintain the same approach when dealing with the connection of opera and historical tales. One composer who follows this concept is Richard Wagner. The opera that he composed was Der Fliegende Hollander. Wagner was also the librettist in this opera. The composer chose to create this opera as a result of his journey across the New Sea. Hs experiences inspired him to develop the opera based on the legend of the Phantom Ship. This legend is about a sea captain who swore he would sail around the Cape of Good Hope, even if it took him forever. As a result Satan dooms his soul to the sea for eternity, unless he finds a woman to break the curse. Another opera based on a legend is Der Freischutz by Carl Maria von Webber. The librettist of this work is a man named Friedrich Kind. The title of this play when translated into English means “The opera, legend, based, work, sea, reason, one, man, librettist, legends, composer, another, woman, wagner, took, theme, soul, sail, result, question, plot, operas, myth, marksman, love, involves, idea, history, historical, good, everyone, even, english, elements, der
