Wagner is most known for his operas and music dramas.
THE RING OF THE NIBELUNG
They were called 'music dramas' but it not clear who first coined that phrase.
there is a continuous musical flow within each act. there are no breaks where applause can interrupt. the vocal line is inspired by the rhythms and pitches of the German text. They are called music dramas because the story is told as much by the orchestra as by the text, through Wagner's system of leading motives and identifying themes for each character. Wagner felt that operas before him were just music set to words, and he wanted the music itself to tell the story.
