ARGUMENT
ACT I.
A Norwegian brig is driven out of her course on the homeward voyage, and
near the rockbound Norwegian Coast meets with the phantom ship of the
"Flying Dutchman." Daland, the captain of the Norwegian vessel, enters
into a compact with the "Flying Dutchman" whose identity, however, is
unknown to him, to give him a home and his daughter, Senta, for a wife,
in consideration of the rich treasures stored away in the "Flying
Dutchman's" ship.
