Richard Wagner conceived the artwork as an activity similar to religion that should lead the human being to reflection about essential questions of his existence and conduct him to perfection. Wagner was always obsessed with the idea of redemption and his apprehension about regeneration of human being passed over of all his works. Wagner religious concepts has always been presented in his musical works and his literary essays, combining Christian and Buddhist traditions, political ideas and mythological principles that delineate his personal credo, a kind of syncretic religion in which the artwork has its place as a transcendence element, fulfilling the function to interpret the mythical symbols and making them comprehensible to human spirit perceptions. Wagner artistic ideals goes at the encounter of Paul Tillich thoughts and his Theology of Culture. Tillich states that religion is not restricted to the limits of religious temples or institutional domains, but could be found in any human expression that can manifest the ultimate concern . It can be recognized at any situation where one can find the unconditional element, in human manifestations of creativity and in culture, in honest searching for the truth or pursuing solutions to the existence adversities. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to search in Tillichian thoughts a theological correlation to redemption anxiety evidenced in Wagnerian artwork.
