The book examines Wagner's innovative approach to drama, emphasizing the interdependence of music, poetry, and visual arts in creating a new art form. The author delves into Wagner's influences, including Greek tragedy and Italian lyric drama, and how these shaped his vision for the modern opera. The beginning of the text sets the stage for an in-depth analysis of Wagner's methodology and philosophy regarding drama and music. Krehbiel establishes Wagner as a significant reformer of the operatic form, emphasizing that his works aim for a cohesive synthesis of various artistic elements to enhance dramatic expression. The introduction discusses Wagner's conception of "The Art-work of the Future," which seeks to elevate opera through the joint force of music and its narrative elements. It outlines the thematic structure of Wagner's dramas, suggesting that they convey deeper ethical and emotional truths, thus inviting readers to reconsider the importance of music in storytelling.
