Background |
A festive music drama, Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg (The Mastersingers of Nuremburg) is one of Wagner’s largest scale works.This masterpiece portrays the fabric of profound, delicate relationships among the characters in its comic story, requiring a full array of talented singers even for the supporting roles.The subject of this work relates to the tradition and innovation of art, and the tolerant father with dignity and touches of humanity.Sachs reflects the composer’s own determination toward art.The NNTT’s magnificent, high-quality Wagner program brings an impressive opening to the new season. |
Synopsis |
The young knight Walther learns that Eva will be betrothed to the winner of a singing contest to be held the next day and decides to take on the challenge of singing a trial song.However, all the maestros criticize the inadequacy of Walther’s voice. Their musical art has many strict rules that have been handed down from generation to generation.Sachs is the only person who is moved by Walther’s fresh singing and acknowledges his talent. |
