Richard Wagner
Richard Wagner was a German composer, conductor, and theatre director born on May 22, 1813.

Wagner's most famous works include 'The Ring of the Nibelung' and 'Tristan und Isolde.' He revolutionized opera through his innovative approach to music and drama, and his ideas on the Gesamtkunstwerk, or 'total work of art,' have had a lasting impact on the arts.
