Viking Hats and Opera
Wagner's famous Ring Cycle (Der Ring des Nibelungen) has served as the opera that bore the caricature of opera attire the horned helmet. (See operagifts.com own logo! ) While The Ring is often credited with popularizing the idea of horned helmets the story was not about Vikings. The Ring depicted Germanic gods and heroes in the mythical past, not during the historical Viking era. (The Viking age didn't start until A.D. 793 and, truth be told, they didn't wear horned hats.) Wagner did however use a horned helmet in the original production of Tristan und Isolde, an opera that preceded the Ring Cycle in 1865. This is even further from Vikings, because the story is Celtic, not a Germanic, in origin.
