More about the book

The book delves into the complexities of Wagner's operatic work, specifically addressing the evolution of "Night Falls On The Gods" in relation to the philosophical themes of "The Ring." The author critiques their earlier negative assessment and emphasizes Wagner's consistent dedication despite the lengthy interval between the project's inception and completion. A new section explores the tumultuous historical context from the 1848 Liberal explosion to the Paris Commune of 1871, suggesting that the transition from the existing order was far more intricate than portrayed in Wagner's "Siegfried."
