Richard Wagner

Wagner's operas are called "music drama" or "Gesamtkunstwerk" in German because of synthesis of different kinds of arts in it. Wagner used this term in 1849 in the meaning of an operatic performance encompassing music, theater, and the visual arts.

Richard Wagner was born and lived in Germany, in a city called "Bayreuth".

I live in Bayreuth myself!

Yes. In fact, the only thing he wrote to anyone else's text was the Wesendonck Lieder, with words by Mathilde Wesendonck, of whom he was enamoured at the time. They are a set of five songs for voice and piano, or orchestra in a subsequent version, two of which use music from Tristan und Isolde, which he was working on at the time (in fact, he called those two "Studies for Tristan"). Wagner published the original piano/voice version in 1857/8.

Because when you're "forgiving" people for something that you've made up that they've done it doesn't always make sense. P.S Israel must fall

Whether is operas are great is a matter of personal taste. However, he has written many operas that are very well known, including "Tannhauser", "Lohengrin" and "Die Walkure".

The Ride of the Valkyries is actually a piece from the beginning of the third act of Wagner's Die Walküre. The piece is sung by the eight Valkyrie sisters of Brünnhilde, which may be the name you're looking for. "Ho-jo-to-ho!" is Brunnhilde's war-cry in act 2 of Richard Wagner's 'Die Walkure'. As already answered 'The ride of the walkuries' is the opening of act 3 of the same opera.

Yes and no. He was not legally deaf; he could hear you if you shout or yell.

Wagner's most famous compositions are his operas which are:

Die Feen (The Fairies)

Das Liebesverbot (The Ban on Love)

Rienzi

Der Fliegende Hollander (The Flying Dutchman)

Tannhauser

Lohengrin

Tristan und Isolde

Der Ring des Niebelungen (A 4 opera cycle which includes Das Rheingold, Die Walkure, Siegfried, and Gotterdammerung)

Parsifal

I guess that's more than three, but at least it's a complete answer.

One popular heroine would be "Senta".

Carl Friedrich Wagner and Johanna Rosine Wagner.

Because he got himself involved in the 1849 revolution in Dresden, part of the revolutions that had broken out throughout Europe the previous year. He played a minor role, but it was enough to get a warrant issued for his arrest, so he fled, first to Paris, then to Zurich in Switzerland, where he stayed for nine years, then Venice and Paris again before the Saxon government pardoned him in 1862, allowing him to return to Germany.

Approximately an hour and a half.

Richard Wagner - novelist - was born on 1952-04-10.

Wagner based his opera on a courtly romance written by Gottfried von Strassburg in the late 12th century, based on a local legend.

It's the second opera in Wagner's Ring Cycle.

Tristan und Isolde

Wagner had eight siblings, five sisters, Clara, Luise, Ottilie, Rosalie, and Maria Theresia, and three brothers, Carl Julius, Albert, and Carl Gustav. Richard was the ninth child, and his father died of typhus when he was only 6 months old. He was raised by his mother's second husband, Ludwig Geyer.

many producers use leitmotifs which are phrases that signal something

for example: jaws when the shark is coming it plays the same music every time

wagner uses leitmotifs for characters and for feelings such as love

he also has some that signal forshadowing such as: trouble coming

70 years old, and you might know that if you read up your information in books instead of going straight to the computer. Read. If you read your facts they are going to be true, instead of lies on the computer. Not saying this information is not true, it is, because I actually read it in a book. Richard Wagner also died in Venice- Febuary 18, 1883- due to a heart attack. Read that in a book to!

I am not trying to be rude, and if I seem that way all apolagies, but you will be smarter if you read books. Here's a tip for ya' order some National Geographic magazines or National Geographic Kids. Take the tip. Good luck! ;)
