Beschreibung

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.

Autor

Richard Wagner was a German composer and conductor of the 19th century. He was born in Leipzig in 1813 and began studying music at a young age. He later moved to Dresden, where he worked as a conductor and composer. Wagner is best known for his operas, which include Tristan and Isolde, The Ring of the Nibelung, and Parsifal. He was a controversial figure during his lifetime due to his unorthodox views on music and his involvement in revolutionary politics. Wagner was also a prolific writer and commentator on music, art, and politics. In addition to his autobiography, My Life, he wrote several essays on music theory and aesthetics. He is credited with developing the concept of Gesamtkunstwerk, or "total artwork," which incorporates music, drama, and visual elements into a unified whole.
