My Take
Cosima Wagner interests me because she is the rare figure who shaped history from behind the curtain. Daughter of Franz Liszt, wife of Richard Wagner, she could easily be filed under famous relatives, yet co-founding and then steering the Bayreuth Festival after her husband's death reveals a formidable will. I see her less as a muse than as an institution-builder operating in an era that gave women little public room. Whether you love or resist the Wagnerian world, her stewardship is undeniable. I find her tenacity, spanning nearly a century of life, genuinely compelling.
