Made to commemorate the 100th anniversary of his death in 1883, Wagner is the epic production of the life of one of the most extraordinary figures of the 19th Century. Richard Wagner remains an enigma. His was a rags-to-riches story with a fairytale end. He was loved yet hated, admired yet despised, a villain yet a hero who was worshipped, a man whose fame and exploits were the gossip of Europe. Above all, he as an incurable romantic whose love affair with Liszt's illegitimate daughter rivals that of Romeo & Juliet in excitement and drama. But he was also a dangerous political revolutionary whose influence penetrated the whole fabric of German society. He was a scoundrel, joker, philosopher, orator, con-man, poet, refugee, political orator, a legend in his own lifetime and one of then greatest composers who has ever lived.
