달란트는 심한 폭풍우 속에 간신히 닿은 해안가에서 네덜란드인 선장을 만난다. 그는 저주를 받아 영원히 바다를 떠돌고 있으며 이 저주를 풀기 위해서는 진실한 사랑이 필요하다고 말한다. 네덜란드인은 달란트에게 하룻밤 숙박의 사례로 금은보화를 약속한다. 욕심에 눈이 먼 달란트는 네덜란드인을 집으로 초대해 딸 젠타와 만나게 한다. 마침 전설 속 네덜란드인을 사랑으로 구원하고 싶다고 소망하던 젠타는 운명적 사랑을 느끼고 결혼을 맹세한다.

Acclaimed artist William Kentridge directed and designed this visually dazzling Met premiere production of Shostakovich’s satirical opera, adapted from the classic short story by Nikolai Gogol. Baritone Paulo Szot leads the cast as Kovalyov, the hapless bureaucrat whose nose has mysteriously gone missing. Alexander Lewis and Andrey Popov co-star, and Pavel Smelkov conducts.

In celebration of Verdi's anniversary year, the Mariinsky label presents a high-definition video recording of Verdi's Attila, led by maestro Valery Gergiev, produced by Arturo Gama and featuring acclaimed Russian bass Ildar Abdrazakov in the title role. A two-time GRAMMY Award winner for his Verdi readings, Abdrazakov has quickly established himself as one of opera's most sought-after basses. Since making his La Scala debut in 2001 at only 25, the Russian singer has become a mainstay at leading houses worldwide. Filmed in the Mariinsky Opera House, the DVD includes a stunning picture gallery of scenes from the performance. As is the case with many of Verdi's operas, Attila is imbued with the spirit of Risorgimento, the national liberation movement of the Italian people against foreign rule and for the unification of Italy. Looking ahead, Atilla is the first of four opera DVDs that are planned for release on the Mariinsky label in 2013.
