Tannhäuser premiered at the Königliches Hoftheater in Dresden on 19 October 1845, marking a key event in Wagner's middle-period output.
The opera, completed in April 1845, was staged at the Royal Court Theater. Although it was a significant work, its reception was less favorable than that of Rienzi, leading Wagner to immediately begin revising the score.
