French audiences reacted negatively to Richard Wagner's "Tannhäuser" primarily due to its defiance of traditional operatic norms and its unconventional themes. The 1861 Paris premiere faced backlash for its controversial portrayal of morality, sexuality, and the clash between sacred and profane love. Additionally, Wagner's innovative musical style and lengthy structure did not align with the expectations of the French operatic tradition, leading to confusion and discontent among viewers. The infamous booing at its premiere reflected a broader resistance to Wagner's revolutionary approach to Opera.
