Verdi-Wagner-Operngala

Highlights from operas by Richard Wagner and Giuseppe Verdi

Verdi and Wagner are the two most important composers of the 19th century in the world of opera. They managed to lead this art form to a new heyday with two completely different approaches. Verdi's realistic humanism and Wagner's romantic mythology revolutionized opera. Two geniuses who could not have been more different each created a multitude of masterpieces that fascinated people, but at the same time polarized them. Regardless of this, both musical giants are at the top of the popularity scale for many opera lovers.
