Wilhelm Richard Wagner was a German composer, theatre director, essayist and conductor, best known for his operas, although his mature works are often called music dramas. Unlike most composers, Wagner wrote both the libretti and the music for all of his stage works, and revolutionised the genre through his concept of the Gesamtkunstwerk, uniting poetic, musical, visual and dramatic elements.
