Ill THE DRAMAS OF THE PERIOD BEFORE 1848 "To comprehend my intention became ever more clearly the principal object I had in view." Richard Wagner. IF we now look back, from this point of view, on the works which were composed before 1848, we shall find that we have gained quite a new comprehension of them. We shall then be able to pass on them a critical judgment which has nothing in common with the usual praise and blame, but one whose every assertion signifies some true insight. The reader, I trust, will by this time have realised the justification of what was said at the beginning, namely, that "Wagner only made use of opera because he needed a musical and scenic apparatus for the realisation of his dramatic intentions and thought that opera would afford him this." It is by no means my object to quarrel with words, and I repeat, that I do not deny that Wagner had the 46 express intention of writing operas; but it is impossible for us to come to a proper appreciation of the works of the first period, both for themselves, as well as for the role they play in Wagner's development, if we do not realise the fact that in their innermost being they are distinct from everything which we generally understand by opera. A clear appreciation of this fact is the first and most important realisation with regard to these works of the first period. From what has been said so far, this fact may already have been apprehended, but in the following I hope to be able to transform this apprehension into the fullest conviction, in order to show at the same time how we should use this realisation in order to arrive at a true comprehension. In the first work, " The Fairies," we already find the purely-human motive of Redemption through Love as foundation and...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wagnerian Drama: An Attempt to Inspire a Better Appreciation of Wagner After this I shall shortly consider the works of the first period and show that they are dramas, but that their appreciation as such is impeded, partly through their Operatic form, partly through certain deviations in the application of the various means of expression. For the works of the period of fully conscious creation in a new form Of art a more detailed consideration will be necessary but here also I shall concentrate my attention only on the dramatic poet, and shall attempt to prove that Wagner with his new art-works was able and' forced to wander in new paths, and that he.

Book excerpt: Houston Stewart Chamberlain attended his first Wagner opera at the age of 23. Though disappointed, he was undeterred, and soon became completely immersed Wagner's work, going on to become the intellectual leader of the Bayreuth Circle, centred on the composer's widow; Wagner's biographer; and, in 1909, Wagner's son-in-law. Published in 1892, The Wagnerian Drama was Chamberlain's first book. The work builds on his previous essays commenting on individual Wagner operas-'Notes sur Lohengrin' (1882), his first published essay; 'Notes sur Parsifal' (1886); 'Notes sur Tristan' (1887); and 'Die Sprache in Tristan und Isolde und ihr Verhaltnis zur Musik' (1888)-and is a commentary on the whole of Wagner's dramatic work, focusing on its heroic Germanic elements, and intended to inspire a deeper appreciation for the great master. The Wagnerian Drama was self-financed, and went unnoticed upon initial publication, selling only five copies altogether, which were bought by the author himself. Nevertheless, it would eventually go through six German editions during Chamberlain's lifetime and would see translations into French, Catalan, English, Spanish, and Italian. This second English edition comes 90 years after the first, and is the first with cover artwork by Alex Kurtagic, annotations, and an index.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses one of the most hotly contested debates in contemporary cultural life: the question of how anti-Semitism figures in the operas of Richard Wagner. Until now, scholars have generally acknowledged Wagner's anti-Semitism but have argued that it is irrelevant to the operas themselves. Marc A. Weiner challenges that traditional view by asserting that anti-Semitism is a crucial, pervasive feature in Wagner's operas. Weiner argues that the operas exemplify and contribute to a vast collection of images that are patently anti-Semitic - and that were readily recognized as such by nineteenth-century German audiences. These images were associated particularly with the body. Through a careful examination of Wagner's music, libretti, and stage directions, Weiner reconstructs iconographies of corporeal images - iconographies of the eye, voice, smell, gait, and sexuality - that were essential to the operas and were "associated with anti-Semitism and the longing for an imagined German community".
