安徽省“江南十校”高三模拟英语内容摘要：

new kind of music was too different from the operas they were used to hearing. Wagner agreed with them. In fact， he didn39。 t call his works “ operas” at all， using instead a German word that means “ Musical Festival” or “ Musical play” . While many people today still do not like Wagner39。 s operas， they cannot deny that Wagner has had a lot of influence on opera as a form of art.
