It took Richard Wagner almost 30 years to complete this epic four-opera cycle! He started it just before the 1848 revolution, and didn’t complete the work until 1874, three years after the Foundation of the German Empire. The premiere took place in the summer of 1876 in the Bayreuth Festspielhaus, which was built especially for the event!
