From 1839 to 1842 Wagner worked in Paris mostly as an arranger but he was also able to complete his third and fourth operas Rienzi and the Flying Dutchman. After several years and little success Wagner began composing 'Das Rheingold' (German for: The Rhine Gold) in 1853 following by 'Die Walkure' (German for: The valkyrie) in 1854.
