Wagner's opera Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg
When Richard Wagner developed the first ideas for Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg in the mid-1840s, he had no intention of writing a monumental festival opera.

Der Rosenkavalier - Strauss' comedic opera
After the archaic, dramatic one-act operas Salome and Elektra, Richard Strauss was looking for a lighter, more light-hearted subject matter in the style of Mozart's operatic comedies for his next opera.
