- Richard Wagner's opera The Flying Dutchman (1843) is adapted from an episode in Heinrich Heine's satirical novel The Memoirs of Mister von Schnabelewopski (Aus den Memoiren des Herrn von Schnabelewopski) (1833), in which a character attends a theatrical performance of The Flying Dutchman in Amsterdam.

When I was about 5 years old, my father(1st trumpetist in the National Opera) took me with him down to the orchestra pit in every opera. This one was my favourite, Ι had learnt all the songs by hard and the musicians put me to sing them in the breaks. This opera is permanently written in my heart. It gives me goosebumps hearing the overture...
Some five-year-olds are given the Fluffernutter, some are shown Star Wars, others are introduced to Wagner.
I was an usher ("evening attendant") at the Colliseum, fifty years ago.
@@tinobemellow i do all. including battlestar galactia and so fourth, i love it when a old cartoon is shown and this is played during a storm.
Wagner never out of style.He appeals to our heroic souls.
It's amazing how someone can write music with as much power as this. The best electric guitars and drums in the world can't replicate this kind of energy.
***** They'd probably become EDM djs
its depends on your views and likes
I personally like metal, dubstep, lotr soundtracks (especially those that are made dubstep), and christian rap
Kurt Haller Then why are you listening to Wagner? Not to be disrespectful or rude, I'm just a little confused...
Angela Tyler I play in my city's youth orchestra and we're playing this piece and others, good question tho :)
Like lots of musicians and artists, Wagner lived in extreme poverty for a great deal of his life. In fact he was so poor, he had to go to Paris and ask to be introduced to Pillet the director of the French opera house, in order to propose this piece "Flying Dutchman" to him hoping it would help him.. Sometime later, he discovered that Pillet actually GAVE the sheets to this piece to another musician called Dietsch. Despite his protests, Wagner had no powerful relations, no important friends and he was so poor he eventually had to accept this outrageous deal for a small amount of money. seeing that he finally has credit for this piece and imagining his heartache back in the time, I say It's kind of a bittersweet success.
+noisette91 But I bet he could still afford cough medicine.
well that gambling bug will make you poor
Israel doesn't seem to give a fuck about how much he had to go through, because many years ago (and I assume things haven't changed ever since) Wagner's music was prohibited in Israel because it was a symbol of nazism and the same kind of bullshit they always repeat. Just because a bunch of nazis suffering from egocentrism would play Wagner's music at concentration camps doesn't mean this music is nazi. Yes, Wagner dispised jews, still he was a GREAT composer and deserves recognition. It's like undermining Heidegger or Heinsenberg just because they partaked in the NSDAP
Wagner's music has never been officially prohibited in Israel, pieces have been played on stage, and you will on occasion hear a piece on Israeli TV or radio.
Wagner experienced poverty until King Ludwig II of Bavaria came along.
*"WHO DARES DISTURB THE FLYING DUTCHMAN!?!?!?!?"*
The Flying Dutchman can only be disturbed by the love of a woman - so the legend says !
Me
Uhm I did mister Dutchman, sir.
Insulti’n a man’s ship be worse than insulti’n his mother
The ads 😂
3:49 just hits so hard, goosebumps.
Seems like Universal Intro isnt it hahaha
Instead of concentrating on the fact that Hitler loved Wagner can we all agree that Wagner put out some damn good music!?
All joking aside - I agree with you, Timothy :)
Thanks man. Despots Have no idea what they are listening to or watching because they surround them selves with yes men. They can't take someone telling them, NO!!!
Timothy Came
I think Hitler did know what he was listening to, but his megalomania and other mental problems don't mean he didn't hear what others hear in the music, something deep and moving; neither is it an indictment of Wagner, as you point out, too. I think it's another example of the complexity and of the flaws of our human nature.
Wagner was an excellent composer. All this talk of Hitler and his supposed great taste in music (almost non-existent) is irrelevant on so many levels…
Kinda like Stalin the authority on ballet!!! Had no idea what he was seeing or listening to!!!
Man... So many memories!
Führer.
Sie haben einen ausgezeichneten Musikgeschmack!
@@DeuxExNoir ok
Der echte Hitler? OH MEIN GOTT WOLLTE ICH WIRKLICH FREUNDE MIT IHNEN SEIN!
lol is that a nazi meeting?
bruh
8:13 Fully captures the feeling of being a retail clerk, two minutes away from the doors opening on Black Friday.
Seems like Universal Intro isnt it hahaha
an absolute genius at work. this overture really makes you feel like you're in a harrowing struggle to stay afloat at sea, without, you know, actually being at sea, and in danger.
Thats funny! Im in marching band and our show is titles sounds of the sea and part of this song is used in our show!
It’s only in the quiet moments of opera you realize how ubiquitous is mankind’s coughing.
Oh, yes indeed. I got my appreciation for classical music through Bugs, Tom and Jerry, and Disney's Fantasia.
In fact, the first time (I was still a kid) I heard "Ride of the Valkyries" on its own, I remember thinking, "Isn't that the Kill the Wabbit song?"
This overture brings out my melancholy emotion associated with long, long ago my loved one. Great music through this prelude
I hear the glimpse of Tristan to come long later.
I love the depth and intensity of this man's mind and heart that creates and recreates the energy with excitement each time I hear it! It's like a gigantic 🧲 that pulls me in deeper and draws me back to it every time! It's eternal thought of organized sounds! Splendid!🤔🇩🇪🤗👍🎭🌹🎶🎼🎵❗
I like a nice beer and listening to Wagner after work. Life is good.
That was the intent. The reason why you hear classical music with such cartoons like Bugs Bunny was that the creators wanted to introduce classical music to a younger generation. Without it, most kids wouldn't dream of listening to classical music, especially in this day and age.
Your comment is almost old enough to shave but I wanted to add that a portion of this overture is used in some of the early Lone Ranger episodes and although I'm quite familiar with this piece it still brought me here.
@@indy_go_blue6048 Which begs the question: 8 year olds can shave?
@@daveatkins3796 4:49
Richard Wagner won at life. I'm serious, this is amazing, and I hope I get the chance to play it some day.
Such a magnificent composition. Satisfies on every level--certainly dramatically-- encapsulates the opera in 10 minutes. Sheer genius.
So rarely do we have such perfectly composed music fitted to a theme. Beautiful music. I can't think of a more appropriate melody for a tempest. Every time I put to sea, the first bars of this comes to mind and then I think of the wonderful coda which puts me at ease and ready to sail.
Gives me the shivers every time I hear it.
I think Wagner requires a certain maturity before it can be approached. I find myself drawing toward his work as I get older now.
I've been drawn to him, ever since I was a kid and watched Warner Bros. cartoons. "The Flying Dutchman" was featured heavily in "What's Opera, Doc?"
Mark Twain once remarked that his music is better than it sounds - and that is true! Recent performances by chamber ensembles have been fascinating in how they illuminate his intricate and beautiful counterpoint. Under the Cecil B DeMille elements, he was in a direct line from Beethoven!
Im 16.
Yolis Bortin Well done. The medal's in the post.
Paul Lee Be careful and get professional help
Come for the music, stay for the coughing.
That fucking coughing though..
:-)
Evan Scott I wonder if it wouldn't be a good idea to hand out lozenges to coughers prior to seating? Or have a bowl with note "please take one if you intend to cough during this performance." If they say, "oh I'm sorry, I'm allergic to them" Then reply, "oh, we're sorry, the rule is you cough you go."
They should keep a large roll of duct tape to put over their mouths.
+Evan Scott the must have "cough" written in their music xD
Wonderful music to stimulate and simultaneously relax the intelligent mind.
It was fantastic. Everything about it... The acoustics were fantastic. They had placed everything perfectly, to where the sound was very pure. And they incorporated graphics onto a projection screen, and it displayed emotions. Red- being angry, grey/white being calm, and they even used yellow. I can't wait to attend another.
Be vewy quiet, I'm hunting wabbits...
Outstanding
@Nina Hagen How dare you besmirch the name of Elmer Fudd.
Nina Hagen
Mr Magoo? I think you’re referring to Elmer Fudd.
Now, that’s comedy!
as much as i loved that cartoon, i fucking curse it now. every time i hear tannhauser overture, i hear
"kill da waaabit, da waaaaaaabit" in my fucking head. and its such a lovely piece. and i have to think of bugs bunny in a fucking brass bra and horned helmet. every. fucking. time.
This is a glorious kind of heroic music! Listening also Gotterdammerung.
gad, this is fabulous picture music--you can feel yourself being blowed around on the rigging and , lased by winds and rain..then seeing a ghostly red glow of ship coming closer and closer...wagner was a genius!
Having a goosebumps in this opera music how genius and incredibly having this
No way.....he looks just like my old chemistry teacher
Because he is your old chemistry teacher
In other news, the Nazis breathed oxygen and probably liked steak and a comfortable bed. Should we boycott those?
i mean hitler was a vegetarian him self but ya
@@Tommy-5684 Then let´s boicot vegeterians
@@louisvalencia5244 Only the really obnoxious ones.
The music of Wagner represents the fierce and powerful spirit of the Germans, of the Teutons, the way in which it transmits so much power is amazing, almost terrifying, it fills my heart every time I listen to his music.
And yes, every time I hear these chords 0:22 make me get out when it rains and scream to the sky "THUNDERBOLTS, RAYS AND LIGHTNINGS!!!!"
SMOGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!
Just saw Flying Dutchman in my local theatre! Amazing! I was so close to the pit. It was such an amazing opening.
To anwser the general coughing question I've been in studios when songs were recorded and its impossible to stop people from coughing once for 15 min.
Bevare of The Flying Coughman!
bugs and elmer used this song
*The Coughing Dutchman
Pedro Mesquita sinfonia
now its serious
just listen to the music......ALL MUSIC is worthy of a listen.....never mind if it is used for the wrong reasons....THINK for yourself.......
I OWNED A FLYING DUTCHMAN SAILING BOAT (K134 LADY OF THE LAKE) DOWN AT HIGHCLIFFE SAILING CLUB DORSET, WITH THE LATE COLIN FROBISHER WE TOOK HER OUT TO CHRISTCHURCH LEDGE IN A FORCE SEVEN GALE AND BACK,TOTALLY MAD OK BUT WE DID IT SOAKED THROUGH,BUT WHAT A BOAT,AT NEARLY 65 I LOOK BACK AND THINK AHH YES THESE WERE GOOD TIMES.
Imagine being one of the people who coughed in this recording and became immortalized.
Yes, but this was used in "What's Opera Doc" too--at the very beginning.
At the 0:55 point in this video is where Elmer sings the first lines of the cartoon: "Be vewy quiet...I'm hunting wabbits."
The Tannhauser overture and the Venusberg ballet from the same opera are also used for the scenes where Elmer is wooing (and singing a duet with) "Bruunhilde."
Whao! So that’s How The Long Ranger and What’s opera Doc got that from. Wow!
Gewoon een geweldig stuk muziek / Nur ein Großartiges Musikstück / Just a great piece of music.
Familiarity is what allows people to understand and enjoy styles of music. Since classical music isn't a massive part of popular culture anymore it's good that people are exposed to it in cartoons, films, TV etc
I love how Wagner captures the violent sea storm in the beginning.
That coughing is so annoying
+Paul von Oberstein where's the cough?
+Paul von Oberstein hahaha, exactly. It must say * cough * in the score if it's happening so much 😂
Somewhere around 3 minutes. You think this is bad, try listening to a thich nhat hanh video and you will get coughs galore. :)
“I just can't listen to any more Wagner, you know... I'm starting to get the urge to conquer Poland.” (Woody Allen) ;-)
Strange, I dont feel the urge to rape my daughter when Im watching Woody Allens movies.
Wow, did he actually say that?!
Wie kurzsichtig von ihm!
Ah, gee. You are missing some fabulous music. Even Israel has had to abandon its veto on Herr Wagner's sublime creations.
@@Adler-uw2jr O O F
Listening to this song i can see the Dutchman struggling to stay afloat in the storm!
i just came here because i'm dutch, i don't give a shit if it's good music or not. That's how the dutchies roll, create anything with the word "dutch" and we would listen to it, buy it, or use it, what ever, just a big commercial hit!
are you serious?
Robin Van Persi xD is The Flying Dutchman
I agree with you. It seems to me that art should be something that not
everybody is able to do, but these days everyone wants to be "equal", the consequence of which is that virtually anything passes for art.
Don't forget not only did he write the music he also wrote the words to his music dramas!
This goes extremely well with the crispy sound of incenerators
It's a bit eerie that when I've been scanning comments on Wagner pieces, I will invariably find references to the end of one's life or the end of Humanity. Wagner - Music for the End of Times...well, somebody had to do it and Morricone didn't come through...
I Love Wagner . Especially the overture to Tannhauser !!!!!
i love that random cough haha! love this overture its amazing!
who dislike this?? who dares to dislike this????
The music is a universal language, there is no evil in there
the grand father of heavy metal.
As well as the Wall of Sound that Phil Specror did in the 60's.
Happy 200th birthday Rich W. !
Just saw this at the MET NYC yesterday, quite breathtaking...
I love this piece of Wagner's. Seen the opera as well, very unique love story...well done!
for me this is a Super-man song, brautiful!
I saw The Flying Dutchman opera at Sydney Opera House. :) be jealous.
Ok boomer
Utah Opera is performing this the week of Oct 9, 2022. I think they are "flying in" two Wagnerian soloists for the performances. I will be there!
hearing this reminds me of sly 3. good times...
Magistral síntesis de emociones violentas. Que vibran al unísono de nuestro espíritu trascendental. El cual, se desgaja de la apática y lúgubre desesperanza del reino terrenal.
As a "lifetime" mortician, as I dismissed a Jewish funeral I softly play Wagner's music. A man said to me "don't you think thats inappropriate music?" I said "no I do not!"
And I said "sir, you may now leave my presence."
i came here for our music class hehehe... 2021 heeerrree!! i enjoyed this masterpiece sooo much🖤
0:00 - 0:50 - BADASS!!!!!!
its great enormous almost feel; the romans marching by, the great empire lives again and others, its overwelming amazing powefull music.
If you really need to cough that much, perhaps you are sick, and should have just stayed home from the concert? lol
wouaw !!!!!!! c'est tres jolie et agreable a ecouter
Forget the Nazis. They misused Wagner music for there agenda.
He was a great composer . he was sponsored by King Ludwig from Bavaria, who build Neu Scheanstein Castle.
The Replica you see at Micky Mouse in Orlando.
King Ludwig build it so Wagner can live there an get inspired and compose.
Their*
Also misused the writings of Nietzsche.
Schwanstein
Anyone else recognize this from that one Bug Bunny skit; the one with the "Speer and magic hel-met!"
Glad you think of yourself in this way.
wagner's best creation........simply awsome
HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICHARD!
"Oh mighty warrior of great fighting stock; might I inquire to ask; Eeeeh.... what's up, Doc?"
Is it odd that I first heard this in 1997, but only learned it's name yesterday?
It's an ouverture for an opera, and the story is before pirates of the caribbean, about a dutch captain who was cursed to live in eternity on the seas, chased by the storms, never able to reach lands. Only about one day in ten years, he was able to return and reach the lands. And what I figure mainly hearing in the music is the restless tides of the stormy sea. In the opera the captain meets with a woman who falls madly in love with him.
sounds like holland in sly 3
YES! Oh my gosh that nostalgia gave me whiplash! Best level in the best game imo
THRILLING, EERIE AND TENDER!! ALL HAIL RICHARD WAGNER--WORLD'S GREATEST COMPOSER!! ALL HAIL!!
Not trying to insult Wagner, but some parts of this remind me of a Disney cartoon
*Hanna-Barbera
james leet Hanna Barbarian amiright? ;)
TwilightPrince64 More to the romans in the Asterix comics. But the comics are better
Disney probably used some of this. If he didn't, I know Warner Bros. did.
I want this song played at my funeral when im getting lowered in the ground.
muchas gracias
Little known fact: this music was used in "THE LONE RANGER - Season 1 Episode 3 -- 'The Lone Ranger Triumphs'". It is near the end where The Lone Ranger & Tonto, along with men from Colby, fight the Cavendish Gang.
Thanks Captain!
I can really RELATE to this video because I too am a Wagner.
Came here for only the first minute of this epic piece
I agree. Never intended to offend anyone or any other form of media. I do,
however, believe there is some validity to my observation.
I feel like I'm in What's Opera, Doc when Elmer Fudd is singing "Be Very Quiet! I'm hunting rabbits!"
Excellent!! A day with Wagner and a beer can never get better!!
I hear this cut and I can see Star Wars. Indeed, this one musical genius blazed the trail for Hollywood movie soundtracks, long before there ever was such a thing.
I drill down a little further. If the drug Ritalin had been around when Wagner was a youth, we would never have even heard this music.
Fantastic!
Cool!!
great
¡Gracias!
bugs bunny used a lot of wagner and rossini
Luvs to lurvvvvv tis one honor Sir
I'm so sorry for forgetting about you Richard. I only listened to Ride of the Valkyries and soon got obsessed with Tchaikovsky.
I humbly ask forgiveness for not listening to your other great masterpieces. Such as this one. I am deeply ashamed...
Wonderful
what did they paint on the chin of him?
