German musical theorist and dramatic composer whose
work had a
revolutionary influence on Western music. Wagner wrote and performed numerous operas among which are
Der fliegende Hollander (The
Flying Dutchman) and Gotterdammerung (Twilight of the Gods). Many years after Wagner's
death Hitler adopted his works as a means to further his
message of Germanic superiority, and thus his music came to represent
German patriotism.
