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.
