Richard Wagner (1813 – 1883), with his both famous and complex works, was amongst one of the most important innovators in European music in the 19th century. “The Ring of the Nibelungen”, a cycle of four operas, was composed over a period of more than 30 years. Two years after it was completed, the entire tetralogy („Das Rheingold“, „Die Walküre“, „Siegfried“ and „Götterdämmerung“) was given its first performance in the Bayreuth Festival Hall.
