A peerless take on Wagner's great comedy
The Telegraph
A true Wagner epic, The Mastersingers of Nuremberg sees a brand-new production by Richard Jones of the Welsh National Opera, in London for the first time. Jones stages a wonderfully witty and clear re-imagining of Wagner's comedy-drama about the 16th-century guild of amateur poets and musicians (the Mastersingers), where there is a fraught tension between creative spirit and conformity in a place obsessed with rules.
"Mastersingers" differs greatly from the rest of Wagner's operas in that it is the only comedy among his mature operas and is centered on a historically true time and place rather than a mythical or legendary setting like Tristan & Ysolde, and based on a totally original story by Wagner himself.
