On this day in 1813, Richard Wagner was born in Leipzig. The German composer would go on to not only create some of opera’s most monumental masterpieces but also revolutionize the worlds of music, theater, and art. From the Met’s earliest days, his works—including the epic Die Walküre—have never been absent from our stage. | The Metropolitan Opera
