Set in Nuremberg in the middle of the sixteenth century, Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg revolves around the association of middle class musicians, poets and master craftsmen. These master singers adopt a complex approach in composing and performing music. The curtains unfold with the choir singing at the St. Catherine’s Church at Nuremberg. During the singing, a young knight from Franconia, Walther, falls in love with Eva who is the daughter of a rich goldsmith and a prominent member of the Meistersingers’ guild, Veit Pogner.

Pogner makes it clear that his daughter, Eva will only marry the winning candidate of the upcoming singing competition. Walther participates in the singing competition in the quest of gaining Eva’s hand. Being unfamiliar with the singing laws of the guild, he fails to prove himself as the best candidate. Though the performance does not match the rules of the guild, but the judges accept the fact that Walther’s voice has that real poetic power. It is during St. John’s festival when Pogner discovers his daughter’s feelings for Walther. Beckmesser is another prominent character who plays the role of a shoemaker. Both regular opera goers and new comers acclaim this joyful comic character. If you want to watch the midsummer madness unfold, grab your bit of Die Meistersinger tickets and indulge yourself in tumultuous excitement.
