  Rienzi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rienzi, der Letzte der Tribunen (Rienzi, the Last of the Tribunes) is an early opera by Richard Wagner in five acts, with the libretto written by the composer after Bulwer-Lytton's novel of the same name.
Rienzi is Wagner's third opera, and is mostly written in a French Grand Opera style, inspired by Meyerbeer and Halévy, which seems conventional in comparison with what Wagner later wrote.
The opera concerns the life of Cola di Rienzi, a medieval Italian populist figure who succeeds in outwitting and then defeating the nobles and their followers and in raising the power of the people.

 Cola di Rienzi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rienzi's power, however, was recognized in the Kingdom of Naples, whence both Joan I of Naples and her bitter foe, Louis I of Hungary, appealed to him for protection and aid, and on August 15 he was crowned tribune with great pomp, wreaths of flowers being placed on his head.
Rienzi obtained aid from Louis of Hungary and others, and November 20 his forces defeated the nobles in a battle just outside the gates of Rome, a battle in which the tribune himself took no part, but in which his most distinguished foe, Stephen Colonna, was killed.
Rienzi's life and fate have formed the subject of a famous novel by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton, the opera Rienzi by Richard Wagner and of a tragedy by Julius Mosen.

Rienzi was particularly adamant that the system should not be introduced and this apparently was the advice which Andrews relayed to the Mahatma.
Rienzi of course had no intention of obeying this last restriction and immediately plunged, once more, into this dual mode of assisting the East Indian population (so recently emancipated) and of reaching out to the larger, national working class.
Rienzi was now eagerly summoned to the North to assist in the formation of the All Trinidad Transport and General Workers Trade Union (8th June 1938), the Railway Workers Trade Union (25th July 1938), the Civil Service Association (25th March 1939).

 Cola di Rienzi
Rienzi's embarrassing poverty was relieved by employment as the Pope's notary in Rome, and the salary was large enough -- five gold Florins a day -- that he could write and speechify at his leisure.
Rienzi ruled by decree, and many of his laws were liberal and actually passed power back to the people, but his inexperience quickly became obvious.
Rienzi was received again in Rome in 1354 as a redeemer -- the mob turned out and proclaimed that his laws and decrees were reinstated.

 Rienzi - Wagner
The popular tide turns against Rienzi, especially in consequence of the report that he is in league with the German emperor, and intends to restore the Roman pontiff to power.
Instead of the "Te Deum," however, with which Rienzi expected to be greeted on his entrance to the church, he hears the malediction and sees the ecclesiastical dignitaries placing the ban of excommunication against him upon the doors.
Rienzi’s pardon of the nobles is conveyed in a broadly beautiful melody, and this is succeeded by the animated passage heard in the overture.

Rienzi thus grew to manhood in the shadow of the fortress that had humiliated the papacy in the person of Boniface VIII (1217-1303), given victory to the Roman barons, driven the popes to Avignon, and plunged Rome into feudal anarchy, that collapse of restraining authority which the barons relished and required for their petty tyrannies.
Rienzi studied the crumbling inscriptions, generally ignored, on the buildings, arches, and columns of Rome that spoke to him of the lost grandeur of antiquity.
Rienzi delivered an impassioned oration before the court, naming Charles as the chosen emperor, the monarch of prophecy destined to restore the grandeur of Rome and to lead in the final days with a just and peaceful reign.

Cola di Rienzi was busy agitating the lower class (the Roman mob redux), and the existing power structure -- the nobility -- was leaving town, both because of Rienzi and because the reduced rural population (those famines) required their presence on rural estates.

 E. A. Poe Society of Baltimore
In a vivid wit -- in profundity and a Gothic massiveness of thought-in style-in a calm certainty and definitiveness of purpose -- in industry -- and above all in the power of controlling and regulating by volition his illimitable faculties of mind, he is unequalled -- he is unapproached.
With all and more than all the distinguishing merits of its noble predecessor, it has none of its chilliness-none of that platitude which (it would not be difficult to say why) is the inevitable result of every attempt at infusing warmth among the marble wildernesses, and vitality into the statue-like existences, of the too-distantly antique.
He wandered on very slowly and feebly till he came to a broad square, from which, in the vista, might be seen one of the principal gates of Florence, and the fig-trees and olive-groves beyond.
