The Use of Leitmotifs in Richard Wagner's Operas

Quick fact

Wagner’s 4-opera cycle 'Der Ring des Nibelungen' contains over 100 distinct leitmotifs, each woven into a continuous musical fabric that lasts about 15 hours.

Why this is interesting

Imagine hearing a single musical phrase that instantly makes you think of a dragon, a magic ring, or doomed love. That’s the power of the leitmotif—and no one wielded it more masterfully than Richard Wagner.
