Richard Wagner
description Richard Wagner Overview
Richard Wagner (1813-1883) revolutionized opera with his concept of *Gesamtkunstwerk* (total work of art), integrating music, drama, poetry, and stagecraft. His operas, such as *The Ring Cycle*, are monumental in scale and ambition. Wagners use of leitmotifs, recurring musical themes associated with characters or ideas, profoundly influenced film scoring. His harmonic innovations and dramatic intensity continue to inspire debate and admiration.
