About WagnerKnown for his operas, which - unusually - he wrote both the vocal and musical parts for, Richard Wagner is a 19th century German composer noted for his use of music to characterise his different operatic characters.

Wagner's best known for the popular opera Tristan and Isolde, and divided many composers, who were often heavily opinionated on Wagner and fell into 'with' or 'against' groups.
