Yes, the inspiration from Wagner is definetely musical - the use of leitmotif especially. But of course, a pretty obvious choice for a score of this nature. I think it would have been very difficult to hold the pieces together any other way in a score of this magnitude. Shore has said that it was his chance to write an opera
