Richard Wagner
Richard Wagner’s opera Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg is set to enchant audiences at the 85º Festival del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, under the baton of conductor Daniele Gatti . The production boasts an outstanding cast, including the renowned Michael Volle as Hans Sachs, Klaus Florian Vogt as Walther von Stolzing, and Markus Werba as Beckmesser. Rising star Kirsten MacKinnon wants to take on the role of Eva in this captivating tale of love, art, and society.
The opera, which premiered in Munich in 1868, tells the story of a singing competition in the city of Nuremberg, Germany, and the various characters who vie for the title of “Meistersinger” or master singer. It’s a celebration of art and tradition, but also a commentary on social hierarchies and the struggle for individuality.
Under the expert direction of Daniele Gatti, the orchestra and singers will bring Wagner’s music to life, creating a magical atmosphere that will transport audiences to another time and place. With its exquisite melodies, intricate harmonies, and dramatic storytelling, Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg is a true masterpiece of opera.
