Senta's

Senta's first appearance we know of her rather neurotic obsession with the Dutchman's legend, so that we are not entirely surprised when she flings herself into the ocean.

Senta's, but let's take a few minutes and talk this over.

Senta's was mostly outdoors, the tables under the open sky.

Senta's was an almost pathetic and very obvious desire to be considered daring, pantherine, seductive, dangerous.

Dutchman, and you have immediately the roar of the sea, the Dutchman's loneliness and sadness, Senta's exaltation.

Richard Wagner Runciman, John F 1913

In itself, I say, for Senta's self-sacrifice is purely a fad: she knows nothing of Vanderdecken save a rumour shaped into a primitive ballad.

Richard Wagner Runciman, John F 1913

The storm ceases, and Vanderdecken having expressed his hopes and fears, Daland comes on deck, enters into conversation with the stranger, and in a few minutes it is arranged that the two shall go together, and if the Dutchman can win Senta's heart, she shall be his.

Wagner Runciman, John F 1913

Vanderdecken at once begins his story, and the pair sing a duet, which I will deal with shortly; for the moment I need only remind the reader that Senta's mind was made up in advance.

Richard Wagner Runciman, John F 1913

Just as Senta's ballad of the Flying Dutchman is the germ of that opera, so this is the germ of Lohengrin.

Compare Daland's song in the Dutchman with Wolfram's description of how Elisabeth has pined, or Senta's last passages in the final scene with Elisabeth's salute to the hall of song.
