PROJECT OVERVIEW

You are studying German operas in your Music Appreciation class. Wilhelm Richard Wagner (pronounced ‘va:gner’) lived from 1813 to 1883 and was a composer, conductor, theatre director and essayist, primarily known for his operas. Wagner wrote and composed many operas, and King Ludwig II of Bavaria was one of his biggest supporters. Because you recently visited southern Germany and toured King Ludwig’s castles, you decide to create a PowerPoint presentation with some of your photos to accompany your class presentation.
