Tannhäuser und der Sängerkrieg auf Wartburg
Tannhäuser is an opera by Richard Wagner (1845) that tells the story of the medieval minstrel knight Tannhäuser, who is torn between the sensual pleasures of Venus's realm and redemption through pure love. The plot centers on the legendary song contest (Sängerkrieg) held at Wartburg Castle, where Tannhäuser scandalously praises carnal love and must seek absolution for his sins.
