Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg

Production: Keith Warner

Hans Sachs, the respected shoemaker and Meistersinger, recognizes the talent of the young knight Walther von Stolzing, who is courting Eva. In order to win her, however, Walther must satisfy the strict rules of the Meistersinger. He is in danger of failing in the singing competition, but Sachs cleverly supports him. Walther finally wins over the guild with a novel, inspired song. He wins Eva, while Sachs pleads for moderation, art and a sense of community.
