❤🎶 Wagner always had a good nose for setting tragic heroic stories to music – even before the Ring. In his third opera Rienzi, based on the novel by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, he tells the story of a young Roman in the 14th century who stood up against corruption in Rome's upper classes. But it wouldn't be Wagner if the story didn't have a tragic ending! Watch the whole opera in the renowned production of Jorge Lavelli at the Théâtre du Capitole de Toulouse!❤🎶 http://bit.ly/Wagner_Rienzi | medici.t
