TANNHÄUSER UND DER SÄNGERKRIEG AUF WARTBURG Romantische Oper in 3 Akten Composer and librettist: Richard Wagner First performance: Königliches Hoftheater, Dresden, 19 October 1845. Revised: Paris Opéra (salle Le Peletier), 13 March 1861 SETTING: Eisenach, Germany, in the early 13th century. PLOT: Tannhäuser, a Minnesinger (a minstrel-knight and writer of poems of courtly love), has quarreled with the other Minnesingers and spent a year with Venus, the goddess of carnal love, in her grotto in the Venusberg. He frees himself from her spell by invoking the Virgin Mary, and returns to the world of men. The minnesingers persuade him to return to the court of the Landgrave of Thuringia. There, a tournament of poetry is held, at which Elisabeth, the Landgraf’s niece and Tannhäuser’s lover, presides. Tannhäuser, irritated by the other minnesingers’ bland songs, sings a song in praise of Venus. All recoil as they realise that he has been to the Venusberg. The Landgraf and knights condemn Tannhäuser to death, but Elisabeth begs for mercy; surely, she asks, a sinner should seek atonement? The Landgrave exiles Tannhäuser and orders him to go on pilgrimage to Rome. When the pilgrims return, however, Tannhäuser is not among them. He appears at last, and tells his friend Wolfram von Eschenbach that, although he mortified his flesh and sought to atone his sins, the Pope would not forgive him. Only when the Pope’s staff brought forth green leaves would Tannhäuser be forgiven. Knowing this to be impossible, the weary minnesinger has resolved to return to Venus. As she appears, however, a funeral procession enters, carrying Elisabeth’s body on a bier. She has gone to heaven to pray for Tannhäuser’s soul. Pilgrims enter, carrying a priest’s staff bearing green leaves: Tannhäuser’s soul has been saved. Act I finale The Landgrave’s hunting party tell Tannhäuser that after he left, Elisabeth lost interest in music, but that his return may bring her back to happiness. Tannhäuser asks them to lead him to her.

Rienzi, der letzte der Tribunen (Rienzi, the last of the tribunes; WWV 49) is an early opera by Richard Wagner in five acts, with the libretto written by the composer after Edward Bulwer-Lytton's novel of the same name (1835). The title is commonly shortened to Rienzi. Written between July 1838 and November 1840, it was first performed at the Königliches Hoftheater, Dresden, on 20 October 1842, and was the composer's first success. The opera is set in Rome and is based on the life of Cola di Rienzi (1313–1354), a late medieval Italian populist figure who succeeds in outwitting and then defeating the nobles and their followers and in raising the power of the people. Magnanimous at first, he is forced by events to crush the nobles' rebellion against the people's power, but popular opinion changes and even the Church, which had urged him to assert himself, turns against him. In the end the populace burns the Capitol, in which Rienzi and a few adherents have made a last stand.

The central theme is redemption through love. Wagner conducted the premiere at the Königliches Hoftheater Dresden in 1843. Wagner claimed in his 1870 autobiography Mein Leben that he had been inspired to write the opera following a stormy sea crossing he made from Riga to London in July and August 1839. In his 1843 Autobiographic Sketch, Wagner acknowledged he had taken the story from Heinrich Heine's retelling of the legend in his 1833 satirical novel The Memoirs of Mister von Schnabelewopski (Aus den Memoiren des Herrn von Schnabelewopski). This work shows early attempts at operatic styles that would characterise his later music dramas. In Der fliegende Holländer Wagner uses a number of leitmotivs (literally, "leading motifs") associated with the characters and themes. The leitmotifs are all introduced in the overture, which begins with a well-known ocean or storm motif before moving into the Dutchman and Senta motifs. Wagner originally wrote the work to be performed without intermission – an example of his efforts to break with tradition – and, while today's opera houses sometimes still follow this directive, it is also performed in a three-act version.
