Richard Wagner (22 May 1813 in Leipzig – 13 February 1883 in Venice) was a Germanoperacomposer. He was one of the most important opera composers in Germany during the Romantic period. Apart from some music that he wrote as a student he wrote ten operas which are all performed regularly in opera houses today. Most of his operas are about stories from German mythology. He always wrote the words himself.
