Richard Wagner is a renowned German composer, orchestra conductor, and theatre theorist, famous for his operas (or 'musical dramas', as he called them) on a grand scale, of which the best known is 'The Ring of the Nibelung'. Characterized by his innovation in music, especially through his use of leitmotifs, he transformed opera with his concept of Gesamtkunstwerk (total work of art). These pieces are significant in classical music and remain popular in modern times. Discover and plan your next Wagner performances here on Ticketón
