Richard Wagner
Die Meistersinger von Nuernberg |
| |
2 DVD SET - Staged and directed by Richard Wagner's grandson Wolfgang at the Bayreuther Festspiele in 1984, this production of Wagner's only comedy dispenses with the common cliches to reveal the humanity of each character. Here, Beckmesser is no longer a foolish caricature but a cultivated intellectual; Stolzing emerges as a thoughtful individual rather than aggressive aristocrat; and Hans Sachs sheds his solemn patriarchal veneer to become a likable middle-aged man.
Bernd Weikl, Manfred Schenk, Andreas Molnar, Martin Egel, Hermann Prey, Jef Vermeersch, Siegfried Jerusalem, Graham Clark, Mari Anne Haeggander, Marga Schiml
