Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg: Deutsche Oper Berlin

About the Event

Enter the remarkable universe of Richard Wagner's operatic composition at the Deutsche Oper Berlin: Donald Runnicles conducts Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg.

Richard Wagner’s Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg — his only work in which a happy ending awaits his characters – is at once a light‐hearted love story and a profound discourse on the essence of art. In the ceremony of the master singers and above all the key characters, Walther von Stolzing and Hans Sachs, we are presented with the bourgeoisie’s democratic conception of the role of art.
