Wagner's operas can be counted among the most important works of
art of the nineteenth century. But Wagner was a composer around
whom violent artistic, political, and literary controversies raged
during his lifetime. Even today, Wagner's music seems to arouse
either adulation or antipathy. In The Complete Operas of Richard
Wagner, as in the first four volumes of his famous series on the
great opera composers, Charles Osborne first describes the
composer's life at the time he wrote each opera, thus providing a
biographical thread which runs through the book follows it with a
thorough examination of the libretto and its sources and lastly
tells the story of the opera, which he links to the major musical
features.This book is, in effect, a musical biography of Wagner,
tracing his development from his first complete opera, Die Feen, to
his last, Parsifal. It serves as an invaluable guide to the often
perplexing Wagner oeuvre both for the regular opera-goer and the
armchair listener.
