 This visit gave Fauré a liking for foreign travel, which he indulged for the rest of his life.From 1878, he and Messager made trips abroad to see Wagner operas.They saw "Das Rheingold" and "Die Walküre" at the Cologne Opera; the complete "Ring" cycle at the Hofoper in Munich and at Her Majesty's Theatre in London; and "Die Meistersinger" in Munich and at Bayreuth, where they also saw "Parsifal".
