Musicians
Richard Wagner
Born in Leipzig in 1813, Richard Wagner transformed opera into the Gesamtkunstwerk, a total work of art uniting poetry, music, and stagecraft. His four-opera Ring cycle and leitmotif technique created the new genre of music drama, while Tristan und Isolde's chromatic harmony opened the door to modern music. He built the Bayreuth Festspielhaus to realize his vision of fully integrated theatrical experience.
