Richard Wagner was born on May 22nd, 1813, in Leipzig, Germany.

His father died when he was 6 years old and his mother raised him and his two siblings alone.

He composed his first opera, “Die Feen” at the age of 19.

Wagner wrote both the music and libretto for all of his operas.

He is most famous for his “Ring Cycle”, a series of four operas based on Norse mythology.

Wagner is credited with introducing the concept of “Gesamtkunstwerk”, or the total work of art, in which all aspects of a production (music, sets, costume, staging, etc.) unite to form one artistic experience.

Wagner’s works are considered to be some of the most influential in musical history, having inspired such composers as Gustav Mahler and Richard Strauss.

His music is thought to have been an influence on modern art and music, including rock and roll.

Wagner had several controversial views and relationships during his life, including anti-Semitism and a romantic affair with the daughter of a Polish nobleman while still married to his first wife.

Wagner died on February 13th, 1883 at the age of 69 in Venice, Italy.

Richard Wagner est né le 22 mai 1813 à Leipzig, en Allemagne.

Son père meurt lorsqu’il a 6 ans et sa mère l’élève seul avec ses deux frères et sœurs.

Il a composé son premier opéra, “Die Feen”, à l’âge de 19 ans.

Wagner a écrit à la fois la musique et le livret de tous ses opéras.

Il est surtout connu pour son “Ring Cycle”, une série de quatre opéras basés sur la mythologie nordique.

On attribue à Wagner l’introduction du concept de “Gesamtkunstwerk”, ou œuvre d’art totale, dans laquelle tous les aspects d’une production (musique, décors, costumes, mise en scène, etc.) s’unissent pour former une expérience artistique unique.

Les œuvres de Wagner comptent parmi les plus influentes de l’histoire de la musique, ayant inspiré des compositeurs comme Gustav Mahler et Richard Strauss.

On pense que sa musique a eu une influence sur l’art et la musique modernes, y compris le rock and roll.

Wagner a eu plusieurs opinions et relations controversées au cours de sa vie, notamment l’antisémitisme et une liaison romantique avec la fille d’un noble polonais alors qu’il était encore marié à sa première femme.

Wagner est décédé le 13 février 1883 à l’âge de 69 ans à Venise, Italie.

Richard Wagner nació el 22 de mayo de 1813 en Leipzig, Alemania.

Su padre murió cuando tenía 6 años y su madre lo crió sola a él y a sus dos hermanos.

Compuso su primera ópera, “Die Feen”, a los 19 años.

Wagner escribió tanto la música como el libreto de todas sus óperas.

Es famoso sobre todo por su “Ciclo del Anillo”, una serie de cuatro óperas basadas en la mitología nórdica.

A Wagner se le atribuye la introducción del concepto de “Gesamtkunstwerk”, u obra de arte total, en la que todos los aspectos de una producción (música, decorados, vestuario, puesta en escena, etc.) se unen para formar una experiencia artística.

Las obras de Wagner se consideran algunas de las más influyentes de la historia de la música, ya que inspiraron a compositores como Gustav Mahler y Richard Strauss.

Se cree que su música influyó en el arte y la música modernos, incluido el rock and roll.

Wagner tuvo varias opiniones y relaciones controvertidas a lo largo de su vida, como el antisemitismo y un romance con la hija de un noble polaco cuando aún estaba casado con su primera esposa.

Wagner murió el 13 de febrero de 1883 a la edad de 69 años en Venecia, Italia.
