At the age of four, Wilhelm Richard Wagner made his first impression on the theatrical world when he pounded on a bass drum and stopped the performance at the Dresden Playhouse-right in the midst of his stepfather's lines. No more trunks to explore, no more wigs to try on, no more lights and music and dancing. This ill-fated incident put a temporary stop to Richard's nights backstage, and the punishment was almost more than exuberant little "Dicker" could bear.
But there were golden and impressionable years ahead for young Richard. He had so loved being a part of his adored stepfather's professional life. He came under the haunting spell of Weber's opera, Der Freischutz, and copied the entire score on his own music sheets to memorize.
He avidly read Shakespeare's plays and vowed he would write even greater tragedies. He staged puppet shows, wrote poetry, and dreamed fantastic dreams.
