摘要

本文集中於探討理查•華格納二十歲時所寫的第一部歌劇《精靈》。由於《精靈》是一個漫長藝術生涯的開端，因此首先處理華格納作品的分期問題，以便能夠將它在整體作品中正確地定位。接下來將重建此部歌劇的創作背景，呈現它對於這位年輕的作曲家而言所具有的心理學意義與價值。在此論證中特別標舉出霍夫曼的影響，他作為其時浪漫主義的代表者，不僅得到華格納的景仰，他的美學觀更多方面地滲透在《精靈》的創作過程裡。最後列舉出在《精靈》中內在固有的、同時也標誌著華格納成熟期作品的主題與動機，以便藉此建立起這部經常受到忽略的少作與中晚期傑作之間的關連性。

This article concentrates on the investigation of Wagner's first opera, Die Feen, which he composed when he was only 20 years old. At first, it deals with the question about the periods of Wagner's compositions, in order to position Die Feen, which is at the beginning of a long art career with its proper place in the entire works. In discussion of the opera, the article will try to reconstruct the backgrounds of the creation processes, to present the value and importance of the opera in the psychology of the young composer. In the following argumentations, the influences of E. T. A. Hoffmann will be especially brought up, because Wagner saw him as a representative of German Romanticism and admired him. In Die Feen, Hoffmann's aesthetic insights are confirmable in many aspects. Finally, many themes and motives which Die Feen has furthermore characterize Wagner's mature works; they will be grubbed, so that a direct connection between the often ignored first opera of the master, and his middle and late works, can be established.
