Richard Wagner, Titan of German Opera: His Life, Works, and Influence

By: Smith, Kaelyn

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Richard Wagner is one of the most influential and revolutionary figures in opera. His concept of gesamtkunstwerk introduced an entirely new approach to the art form and profoundly affected both the musical and theatrical communities. His Ring Cycle has become a central component of opera repertoire as well as an oft-used or referenced work in popular culture mediums. While his Ring Cycle is, perhaps, his most enduring and significant contribution, his career in its entirety is well worth study and appreciation for each step in his artistic development illuminates a reality of the arts during his life.
