Rarely in the History of mankind has a work of art been as ambitious as Wagner’s Ring Des Nibelungen. This piece combines four operas, spanning a total duration of fifteen hours of music, opera and theatre all put together in what the German composer intended to be a “universal work of art”. Wagner was also a major thinker of the nineteenth century, and he even found some time to write other major operas such as Pasifal and Tristan Und Isolde.
