    Richard Wagner and the Gold Beneath the River

    Wagner discovered that musical themes could tell stories like magic spells, creating “leitmotifs” that gave every character and object its own musical signature. This episode explores how he used these musical name tags to bring an epic tale of river gold and ancient myths to life.
