【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 new kind of music was too different from the operas they were used to hearing. Wagner agreed with them. In fact， he didn39。t call his works “ operas” at all， using instead a German word that means “ Musical Festival” or “ Musical play” . While many people today still do not like Wagner39。s operas， they cannot deny that Wagner has had a lot of influence on opera as a form of art. Wagner invented the tradition of turning off the lights before starting a play. He also was the first person to make the whole audience sit down for an entire play. Today， almost all operas are performed in this manner. Wagner as a man was even more controversial than Wagner as a writer of music. He hated Jewish people， slept with his friends39。 wives， and made many people angry— things we would today think of as evil. Some would say he was a good musician， while others that he was a bad musician. But it would be difficult to say he was not an important person in music and in the world. 56.
