Richard Wagner is remembered as one of the most influential figures
in music and theatre, but his place in history has been marked by a
considerable amount of controversy. His attitudes towards the Jews
and the appropriation of his operas by the Nazis, for example, have
helped to construct a historical persona that sits uncomfortably
with modern sensibilities. Yet Wagner's absolutely central position
in the operatic canon continues. This volume serves as a timely
reminder of his ongoing musical, cultural, and political impact.
Contributions by specialists from such varied fields as musical
history, German literature and cultural studies, opera production,
and political science consider a range of topics, from trends and
problems in the history of stage production to the representations
of gender and sexuality. With the inclusion of invaluable and
reliably up-to-date biographical data, this collection will be of
great interest to scholars, students, and enthusiasts.
