Gesamtkunstwerk facts for kids
Gesamtkunstwerk is a German word meaning "total artwork".
Richard Wagner used gesamtkunstwerk in creating his operas. In the Classical era, there was more emphasis on the music in an opera. But in the Romantic era, there was more of an emphasis on personal expression. Wagner made his operas into movie-like performances.
