La recepción de la obra de Richard Wagner en Madrid entre 1900 y 1914
Abstract
At the beginning of the twentieth century, Wagnerism in Madrid was a consolidated social phenomenon. Interest in Wagner would continue to grow, reaching a climax in 1911, with the premiere of Tristan und Isolde, the social impact of which would lead to the creation of the first Wagnerian Association of Madrid. The analysis of the profiles of its over 2000 members, and the exhaustive search through the press of the time, both reveals the multi-disciplinary interest Wagner’s output generated in the Spanish capital, in accordance with the rest of Europe. Thus, the Wagnerian influence can be seen in such diverse fields as art, literature, sculpture and painting. The outbreak of the First World War in 1914 would mark the end of this growing interest in Wagner’s work throughout Europe, which led to a generalised rejection of German culture, consequently causing the dissolution of the Wagnerian Association of Madrid.
