Description was written before the event

Richard Wagner's epic opera at Vienna State Opera. The performance begins at 17:00.

About: Richard Wagner

The composer who invented the leitmotif and built his own theatre to stage his works, Wagner transformed opera into music drama - a form where orchestra, text, and stage action are inseparable. His tetralogy Der Ring des Nibelungen, running over 15 hours across four evenings, stands as the defining monument of 19th-century German opera.
