Have you experienced any opera in which the drama dominates the music? Wagner claimed that in The Ring he wedded music and drama (and other arts as well) so closely that neither dominates the Gesamtkunstwerk (complete artwork). Read the libretto of one of the four operas that constitute The Ring, and then go to or listen to the opera. Do you agree with Wagner’s claim?
