          (1813-1883)

          Who Was Richard Wagner?

          Richard Wagner was one of the world's most influential — and controversial — composers.

          He is famous for both his epic operas, including the four-part, 18-hour Ring Cycle, as well as for his anti-semitic writings, which, posthumously, made him a favorite of Adolf Hitler. There is evidence that Wagner's music was played at the Dachau concentration camp to "re-educate" the prisoners.
