Wieland Wagner (5 January 1917 – 17 October 1966) was a German opera director. Wieland was the elder of two sons of Siegfried Wagner and Winifred Wagner, grandson of composer Richard Wagner, and great-grandson of composer Franz Liszt through Wieland's paternal grandmother. In 1941, he married the dancer and choreographer Gertrude Reissinger. They had four children Iris (b. 1942), Wolf-Siegfried (b. 1943), Nike (b. 1945) and Daphne (b. 1946). <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Wieland+Wagner">
