Germanic legends often based romantic operas of especially known composer Richard Wagner, who worked Tannhäuser (1845) and the tetralogy Der Ring des Nibelungen (1853-1876).
From 1872, Richard Wagner lived at Bayreuth to 1883 and designed the opera house, used chiefly for performances of his works.
Wilhelm Richard Wagner conducted, directed theater, and authored essays, primarily for his later called "music dramas." Unlike most other greats, Wagner wrote the scenario and libretto.
I am so proud I have finally read this great book!. Wagner is a talented author and his life is like a fascinating novel. I was impressed by the days in Dresden and his fight in the barricades with Bakunin. His love affairs and his clear view on music. A must read for every Wagnerite.
