A huge panorama of Richard Wagner`s life and work, from before the 1848 revolution, through his exile in Switzerland, his rescue by the besotted King Ludwig II of Bavaria, to the final triumph at Bayreuth. Richard Wagner`s radical musical and political ideas, his German nationalism, and even his anti-Semitism are set in the context of his life and times.

Tony Palmer`s original concept of Wagner was as a feature film. It lasted 7 hours 46 minutes, but it was later edited down to a 5-hour version in which some characters disappeared. Later the film was screened as a 10 episode mini-series on television clocking in at almost 9 hours. In 2011 it was re-released in a three-DVD set in its full original version as a feature film, in high definition and widescreen.[2] It had earlier been released on videotape.

It was filmed in many authentic locations including King Ludwig II`s castle of Neuschwanstein and Herrenchiemsee, and the Residenz in Munich. Other locations were in Hungary, Switzerland, Siena, Tuscany, Venice, Vienna and Dublin.

Palmer said of Burton`s performance, `Even now – although there were criticisms – I can`t think of anybody who could have brought it off better than he did.`
