Richard Wagner didn’t just change opera — he laid the foundation for modern film music. His use of leitmotifs revolutionized storytelling through sound, influencing everyone from John Williams to Hans Zimmer. With epic works like The Ring and Tristan und Isolde, Wagner built entire sonic worlds long before cinema existed. This reel traces how one composer shaped the emotional language of movies — and why his impact still resonates today.
