RICHARD WAGNER (1813-1883)
Richard Wagner stands like an impassable mountain at the heart of the musical Europe of the nineteenth century, impressive and fascinating at the same time. In ten lyrical works, this musician, who wrote almost exclusively for the theatre, not only overturned the structure of traditional opera but also profoundly modified the receptive behaviour of the listener. By inventing the "musical drama", which definitively closed the era of romantic opera, Wagner opened the way to all the forms of the contemporary lyrical theatre.
