The tetralogy tmore commonly known as
the trilogy, on account of the fact that the
first opera, "Das Rheingold," merely serves
as an introduction 10 the other three was
first produced at the first Bayreuth festival
Of 1876 as it will probably never be produced
again.
Wagner left in his will a stipulation that
"Parsifal," his great religious opera, the last
Of his composition, should only be produced
in Bayreuth. Mrs. Wagner still holds this
right and derives considerable income
from the annual productions Of the opera
Mrs. Wagner, by the way, is the daughter Of
the late great pianist, Franz List, and was
first married TO Hans Won Bulow, from
whom she secured divorce and was mar
ried to Wagner. She is woman Of many
accomplishments, and was Wagner's idol.
Her father, Franz List, assisted Wagner
many times when he was in sore distress, and
they were the closest Of friends. ;
The greatest singers of Europe give their
services for nothing at the Bayreuth festi-
walls, and are glad to do so, their reward
coming in the instruction they receive and
the pleasure in which they share, and in the
universal fame which can in no way be so
quickly and completely gained as by Bay
reuth triumphs
During the Bayreuth festival of this year
three of Wagner's greatest operas-"Tristan
and Isolde, "Dic Meistersinger" and "Parsi-
fal"-will be sung, and preparations on
grand scale have been made. A larger crowd
than ever before is expected to be in Bay
reuth during the season, and the list of sing
ers who have volunteered their services is
scarcely less than list Of the pre-eminent
vocal artists Of the world.

poetry of ''Tannhauser; !" when it had listened
to tho marvellous "Lohengrin," teeming with
haunting strains of mystical meaning, and
when he composed Tristan and Isolde" a
profound work which deals with conditions
OF human life that have passed away many
centuries since, and the music Of which is an
absolute defiance of all rules and traditions
when these great operas were fairly thrust
upon the notice of public whose palate was
becoming jaded with the mechanicalness of
the existing opera, they inspired an apprecia-
ton and an enthusiasm not paralleled in the
annals of music.
Wagner's theory of tho true mission Of
opera was the development Of n vague idea
which he conceived when but boy The
vast influence which the works of Byron ex-
ercised upon continental Europe during the
first half Of this century had tSe effect Of
creating an interest in English literature,
and Shakespeare particularly was carefully
studied, When Wagner was still in his twelfth
year he was an enthusiastic admirer OF the
Bard of Avon. His two heroes were Beethoven
and Shakespeare. He resolved to compose
an opera, the music of which should be as
great as Beethoven's, and the poetry as great
as Shakespeare. He set to work and pro.
duced IA tragedy that was a sort of combina-
ton Of "king Lear" and Hamlet" There
were over forty deaths in this remarkable
tragedy, and in order to have enough char
acters 10 finish the story Wagner saws he was
Obliged Ia bring back upon the scenes the
ghosts Of the dead characters! But this in
cident represents the first crude formation Of
his theory, which, briefly stated, is that
there must be perfect union of tho music
with the action Of the drama.
The drama must not be mere auxiliary Of
the music-sinply a thread upon which to
hang certain number of arias and duets for
soloists. Any one who reads the libretto of
one Of Wagner's operas will recognize the
masterful touches of poet And the music
Is In exact accord with every variation Of
the story. Every passage, almost every
note, has, when taken in connection with the
development Of the drama, a meaning Of it,
own. When the curtain falls on the first
scene Of ''Tannhauser, for instance, the mu.
