Wagner (theatrical production)

Wagner refers to the works of Richard Wagner, a renowned 19th-century German composer known for his groundbreaking operas. He revolutionized the genre by integrating music and drama more closely than ever before, creating what he called "total art" (Gesamtkunstwerk). His most famous operas include "The Ring Cycle" and "Tristan und Isolde." Wagner's innovative use of leitmotifs—recurring musical themes associated with characters or ideas—has had a lasting impact on opera and music. His works often explore complex themes of love, power, and mythology, leaving a profound legacy in the world of theatrical production and classical music.
