Summary/Abstract: On the 210th anniversary of the birth of the two great titans of the opera genre from the era of musical Romanticism: Richard Wagner and Giuseppe Verdi and 140 years since the death of the first of them, we opted for a presentation of some biographical aspects of the personalities and the creation of the two musicians from the perspective of the experiences that shapes their personality and professional path. Verdi was the canonical in this case, following both the lifestyle and the composition of the laws of time, composing an opera in wich, through its choruses, it reflects the spirit of society. Wagner, with his free, eccentric style, created beyond any legalities imposed, an opera that constitutes a separate, original genre known as Wagnerian musical drama. Joining the two biographies, we note the perceptible difference of the two creative identities and their results generated in a distinct, original, unmistakable manner.
