The Master-Singers Of Nuremberg, also known as Die Meistersinger Von Nurnbert, is a three-act opera written by the German composer Richard Wagner. The opera was first performed in 1868 in Munich, Germany, and was later revised and published in 1889. The story is set in 16th century Nuremberg and centers around the guild of master singers, who are tasked with upholding the tradition of Germanic art song. The plot follows the journey of a young knight named Walther von Stolzing, who falls in love with the beautiful Eva Pogner. In order to win her hand in marriage, Walther must first become a master singer and compete in a singing contest against the other guild members. Throughout the opera, Wagner explores themes of tradition, love, and the conflict between the old and the new. The music is characterized by its use of leitmotifs, or recurring musical themes associated with specific characters or ideas. Overall, The Master-Singers Of Nuremberg is a masterpiece of German opera and is considered one of Wagner's greatest works. Its enduring popularity and influence have made it a staple of the operatic repertoire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
