Richards passion for the theatre emerges at an early stage. Leipzigs rst
dedicated theatre structure of 1766 was converted into the Stadttheater in 1817.
Sisters Rosalie and Ottilie are star performers here. After experiencing the
famous singer Wilhelmine Schrder-Devrient as Fidelio in 1829 Richard
decides to become a musician. His B at major overture (drumbeat overture)
provides light entertainment for the audience on Christmas Day 1830. However, on
16 March 1832 overture and closing music for the 5th act of E. Raupachs King
Enzio are received with applause. Criticism from Rosalie leads him to destroy his rst
opera, The Wedding with the exception of the introduction, which had already been
composed. His opera The Fairies of 1833/34 was never produced in his lifetime. The
rst Wagner operas to be performed in Leipzig were Tannhuser, on 31 January 1853,
and Lohengrin, on 7 January 1854.
