Which composer is famous for his epic operas, including “The Ring Cycle”?

Richard Wagner

Richard Wagner revolutionized opera with "The Ring Cycle," an epic series of four operas based on Norse mythology, including "Das Rheingold" (The Rhine Gold), "Die Walküre" (The Valkyrie), "Siegfried," and "Götterdämmerung" (Twilight of the Gods). Its scale, complexity, and thematic depth make it a historic milestone. Wagner innovated with the use of leitmotifs, musical themes associated with a character, place, or idea, enriching his works with interconnected motifs. This approach has left a lasting impact on opera and continues to influence both artists and audiences today, making "The Ring Cycle" a seminal work in both music and theater.
