High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Tannhauser (full title Tannhauser und der Sangerkrieg auf Wartburg / Tannhauser and the Singers' Contest at Wartburg) is an opera in three acts, music and text by Richard Wagner, based on the two Germanic legends of Tannhauser and the song contest at Wartburg. The story centres on the struggle between sacred and profane love, and redemption through love (a theme running through almost all Wagner's mature work). The first performance was given in the Royal Theater in Dresden on 19 October 1845. The composer Ferdinand Hiller, at that time a friend of the composer, assisted in the musical preparations for the production. The part of Elizabeth was sung by Wagner's niece Johanna Wagner; Wagner had intended to premiere the opera to mark Johanna Wagner's 19th birthday on 13 October, but she was ill, which forced its postponement for six days.
