There is a myth claiming that Wagner has planned that the Der Ring des Nibelungen cycle would be performed only three times, then the opera house specifically built for the cycle would be burnt, together with all written copies of the music. (According to malicious interpretations, Wagner would play the fiddle as he watched the opera house burn.) Is there any proof that Wagner has ever thought of this?
