Abstract


The Wagnerian movement in Murcia had to overcome some initial resistance. Nonetheless, this movement would have the same characteristics as in other places: a bourgeois, urban movement linked to the idea of modernity and progress. Two stages can be distinguished in the assimilation of Wagnerian music in Murcia. The fi rst stage, in which Wagner’s music is more often read than played; this initial phase would end with the representation in 1890 of the opera Lohengrin in Murcia. In the second stage, the audience in Murcia would have the opportunity to enjoy a more symphonic Wagner thanks to the work of symphonic musical ensembles (bands and chamber groups) and the concerts offered (from 1910) by the Orquesta Sinfónica de Madrid.
