With Richard Wagner, opera reached the apex of German Romanticism. Originally published in 1851, when Wagner was in political exile, Opera and Drama outlines a new, revolutionary type of musical stage work, which would finally materialize as The Ring of the Nibelung. Wagner's music drama, as he called it, aimed at a union of poetry, drama, music, and stagecraft. ø In a rare book-length study, the composer discusses the enhancement of dramas by operatic treatment and the subjects that make the best dramas. The expected Wagnerian voltage is here: in his thinking about myths such as Oedipus, his theories about operatic goals and musical possibilities, his contempt for musical politics, his exaltation of feeling and fantasy, his reflections about genius, and his recasting of Schopenhauer. ø This edition includes the full text of volume 2 of William Ashton Ellis's 1893 translation commissioned by the London Wagner Society.

Richard Wagner continues to be the most controversial artist in history, a perpetually troubling figure in our cultural consciousness. The unceasing debate over his works and their impact--for and against--is one reason why there has been no genuinely comprehensive modern account of his musical dramas until now. Dieter Borchmeyer's book is the first to present an overall picture of these musical dramas from the standpoint of literary and theatrical history. It extends from the composer's early works--still largely ignored--to the Ring Cycle and Parsifal, and includes Wagner's unfinished works and operas he never set to music. Through lively prose, we come to see Wagner as a librettist--and as a man of letters--rather than primarily as musical composer. Borchmeyer uncovers a vast field of cultural and historical cross-references in Wagner's works. In the first part of the book, he sets out in search of the various archetypal scenes, opening up the composer's dramatic workshop to the reader. He covers all of Wagner's operas, from early juvenilia to the canonical later works. The second part examines Wagner in relation to political figures including King Ludwig II and Bismarck, and, importantly, in light of critical reactions by literary giants--Thomas Mann, whom Borchmeyer calls "a guiding light in this exploration of the fields that Wagner tilled," and Nietzsche, whose appeal to "philology" is a key source of inspiration in attempts to grapple with Wagner's works. For more than twenty years, Borchmeyer has placed his scholarship at the service of the famed Bayreuth Festival. With this volume, he gives us a summation of decades of engagement with the phenomenon of Wagner and, at the same time, the result of an abiding critical passion for his works.

Richard Wagner made the most of his life in every way he could. Rarely has a self-promoter had such a self. Composer, conductor, dramaturge, court composer, revolutionary fugitive, adored husband, vicious enemy, and national icon he impressed him imprint so deeply on Western music that a century later argument still rages about whether his imprint is a scar or a monument. Wagner was one of the first composers to recognize the importance of establishing a public persona to advance his work. He wrote extensively on a wide range of topics to prepare his audiences for his music, especially his operas. A potent polemicist, he paid as much attention to his reputation as to his genius, and took previous time from composition to write essays and books, including his autobiography. This collection provides contemporary readers with ample evidence of the silk and thistles of Wagner's ideas. It includes numerous short works on myth, Mozart, opera, folk art, and politics, his notorious essays "Jews in Music" and "The Necessity of Revolution," generous selections from his artistic manifesto, The Artwork of the Future, autobiographical sketches, and letters to friends about the intent and performance of his works. Much revered and abused, Wagner here speaks for himself. As with his music his prose demands a hearing.
