If I were doing your article I would choose Wagner's "The Mastersingers from Nuremberg". I would have great fun doing it because I would take some of the "standard" opinions of Wagner and pose or suggest the opposite really applied. I would use "for" / "against" or "pro" / "anti" arguments to show that, despite his political tracts, deep down he was not for politics but for art just like the Mastersingers. "The Mastersingers" does makes a political statement but there is a story behind it. Also I would show "The Mastersinger" popping up in 20th politics but here, too, I would argue against the popular perception!
Whether my idea appeals and is of sufficient substance for fill out your required article I can't tell. What is the time frame and number of words required? Email me if you like and I'll find a few things for you to consider and you will soon know if it suits.
