With this approach, Wagner revolutionised opera and changed the path of musical history. Wagner wanted his music dramas to be total art works which combined the worlds of theatre, literature and music. Wagner was finally able to return to his homeland in 1862 where he continued work on his biggest undertaking: The Ring Cycle – a set of four operas or "Music Dramas" (he hated the word 'opera' because it reminded him of stuffy, boring people and pretty tunes sung in Italian by warbling sopranos).
