Ghost Ships and Opera Maine’s The Flying Dutchman

The Flying Dutchman sails into Casco Bay for Opera Maine‘s 27th Season.  Join dramaturg, Calien Lewis, and Maine Maritime Museum Manager of Education, Sarah Timm for a discussion of how Maine’s ghost ship lore informs Opera Maine’s Bicentennial production of Richard Wagner’s breakthrough opera. The Maine coast witnessed hundreds of shipwrecks during the Age of Sail. A few of these tragedies inspired local lore of ghost ships and legends. Sarah Timm will discuss the history and myth-making behind some of Maine’s famous (and not-so-famous) ghost ships that inspired the production design of Opera Maine’s The Flying Dutchmen.
