Summary:

"Among the almost incalculable number of books on Richard Wagner, there has until now been a notable lack of any work which depicted and analysed in words and pictures the performing history of Wagner's stage works. This gap is now filled by the present volume, which traces the production history of Richard Wagner's music dramas from the early opera Die Feen through to Parsifal. This extraordinary publication appears during the centennial year of Wagner's death in 1883." -- From jacket flap.
