The Music of the Future, 1887. Wagner's conception of opera as a unification of musical, poetic and scenic elements, which revolutionised the 19th century conception of the genre, obviously did not always appeal to the ears of the new middle classes. From Punch, or the London Charivari, May 28, 1887.
