Die Meistersinger Von Nurnberg
Wagner's opera in three acts is one of the most popular and commonly performed today. First staged in 1868, this version at New York's Metropolitan Opera was recorded in 2001 and stars James Morris, Ben Heppner and Karita Mattila. The character of Hans Sachs is based on an actual person, the most famous of the Master Singers, but the story is original and Wagner's only comedy. The idealized 16th century Germany, brimming with tradition and cultural heritage, made this Hitler's favourite Wagnerian opera.
