The show The Legend of the Flying Dutchman is part of the programming of the "Rai Festival for the Social" with the aim of involving young people from schools in Spoleto by raising their awareness of environmental sustainability and inviting them to to spread the idea that nature is our greatest ally and should be protected from the predatory attitude perpetrated by man toward the planet's resources.
TheOpera tells of the blindness and total lack of understanding about what the "limit" imposed to ensure our survival on this little blue planet is.
The cocky Dutchman defies nature and loses: the storm sinks the villain's ship, turning him into a ghost forced to to wander the seas in search of an asylum in which to repair his arrogance. But perhaps, as inOpera, the time of awareness has come. The Dutchman and humans can only be saved by love. A love that teaches us that this planet is our only, fragile, home. And that it is not infinite, nor immortal. In legends, humans fear the end of time. Today it is our planet, tortured by our anti-ecological lifestyles, to predicting to us the approach of that end. The earth calls to us, its voice a silent cry that attempts to curb our powers over the world. Music guides us. The time has come to listen.
