The genius of Wagner occupies one of the first places in the world musical heritage, and his work constitutes an entire era in the history of music. However, there is still controversy around it. The works of Wagner in some cause fanatical delight, in others - persistent rejection. The Saxon authorities persecuted him for his revolutionary activities, and the Russians ordered him the National Anthem. He received huge fees and was a pathological debtor because of his irrepressible love of luxury. The composer was friends with the Russian revolutionary M. Bakunin, the Bavarian king Ludwig II, philosophers A. Schopenhauer and F. Nietzsche, he was related to F. List. For many contemporaries, Wagner was the personification of “unbridled morals”, the destroyer of family hearths, but he sincerely loved and found happiness in family life surrounded by children and dogs. Wagner has been called the forerunner of Nazi ideology of the Third Reich and Hitler’s favorite composer. He insisted that art should have a moral impact on the public; the core of his subjects were humanistic ideas that were found only in ancient myths. After his death, his very fate became a myth
