The Master-Singers Of Nuremberg, Die Meistersinger Von Nurnbert

The Master-Singers of Nuremberg, also known as Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg, is an opera composed by Richard Wagner in 1889. The opera is set in Nuremberg, Germany, in the 16th century and tells the story of a group of master-singers who compete for the title of the best singer in the city. The main character, Walther von Stolzing, is a young knight who falls in love with Eva, the daughter of a wealthy goldsmith. To win her hand in marriage, he must compete in the singing contest and impress the master-singers with his talent. However, he faces opposition from the conservative guild of master-singers, who are resistant to change and innovation in their art form. The opera explores themes of tradition versus innovation, love, and the power of music. With its beautiful music and complex characters, The Master-Singers of Nuremberg is considered one of Wagner's greatest works and a masterpiece of German opera.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
