DVD + Blu-Ray:
Die Meistersinger at the Deutsche Oper Berlin

Richard Wagner's "Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg" staged by Jossi Wieler, Sergio Morabito, Anna Viebrock and conducted by John Fiore.

Opera in three acts (1868)
Libretto by the composer

Triumphantly premiered in 1868, "Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg" evokes the singing guilds of mid-16th-century Nuremburg, a focal point of the Northern European Renaissance. Wagner’s only mature comic opera concerns the young knight Walther von Stolzing’s love for Eva whom the town clerk Beckmesser also covets. Against the background of a singing contest, cobbler-singer Hans Sachs’ nobility ensures the reconciliation of youth and age, and tradition and innovation. Deutsche Oper Berlin’s provocative new staging was considered ‘entertaining throughout’ and ‘thought-provoking’ by BR Klassik.
