❤🎶 Wagner always had a good nose for setting tragic heroic stories to music – even before the Ring. In his third opera Rienzi, based on the novel by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, he tells the story of a young Roman in the 14th century who stood up against corruption in Rome's upper classes. But it wouldn't be Wagner if the story didn't have a tragic ending! Watch the whole opera in the renowned production of Jorge Lavelli at the Théâtre du Capitole de Toulouse!❤🎶 http://bit.ly/Wagner_Rienzi | medici.t

Heute vor 180 Jahren, am 20. Oktober 1842, wurde Richard Wagners erstes Erfolgswerk „Rienzi“ am Königlichen Hoftheater Dresden uraufgeführt. Wir haben die Ouvertüre zu dieser „großen tragischen Oper“ in den vergangenen Jahren mehrfach gespielt, so auch im Rahmen der Eröffnungskonzerte des Rheingau Musik Festivals 2017 unter der Leitung von Andrés Orozco-Estrada. | hr-Sinfonieorchester - Frankfurt Radio Symphony
