About Richard Wagner

Wilhelm Richard Wagner (22 May 1813 – 13 February 1883) was a German composer, theatre director, polemicist, and conductor who is chiefly known for his operas (or, as some of his mature works were later known, "music dramas"). Unlike most opera composers, Wagner wrote both the libretto and the music for each of his stage works. Initially establishing his reputation as a composer of works in the romantic vein of Carl Maria von Weber and Giacomo Meyerbeer, Wagner revolutionised opera through his concept of the Gesamtkunstwerk ("total work of art"), by which he sought to synthesise the poetic, visual, musical and dramatic arts, with music subsidiary to drama.

Wohl kenn ich Weibes heil'ge Pflichten;
sei drum gestrost, unsel'ger Mann!
Lass über die das Schicksal richten,
die seinem Spruche trotzen kann!
In meines Herzens höchster Reine
kenn ich der Treue Hochgebot.
Wem ich sie weih, schenk ich die eine;
die Treue bis zum Tod.
