A short article. A bit from EB1911, but it needs citations to indicate where the rest comes from. As far as the text, it is almost a stub. It needs an infobox. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 16:59, 19 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Before he had completed Die Feen, which was never performed during his lifetime, Wagner's disillusionment with the prevailing style of German gothic-horror romanticism had begun. In the theatre at Würzburg he had been exposed to recent Italian
operas and, though be affected to despise the simple orchestration of
The Italians and their apparently casy access to melody, he could see
that, aesehetically, their operatic style was obviously superior to the
labored pedantry of what was being composed in Germany. He
returned to Laipzig early in 1834, and there in March be attended a performance of Bellini's I Capuleti ed i Montecchi in which his idol
Schröder-Devrient sang the role of Romeo.
