The opening scene looks as if Vermeer came into life.

Masterpiece. This opera is about ART and what it means to create. In this act, with the depth of Sach’s subtle opening monologue on the triviality of mankind and how their delusions and violence must be guided by the artist into some kind of order (“Wahn, Wahn”), Wagner reaches his intellectual pinnacle.

Weikl really was a great Hans Sachs!

Weikl, probably the most handsome of all Hans Sachs!

I was in Bayreuth in 1982 and I saw this marvelous production !

As a fairly new newbie, coming from an appreciation for this opera from watching Richard Atkinson’s video analysis of the counterpoint and leitmotif, the only word I can generate is ... Glorious.

Wagner is and will remain perhaps the most complex musician of all time, with his harmonies and unique style in writing musical scores.

The white-haired "extra" who makes Sachs and Beckmesser shake hands in the closing moments is Wolfgang Wagner, the composer's grandson, and producer of this opera.

I saw this production in 1986. Hermann Prey STOLE the show.

Beautifully sung, such magnificent voices, where have they all gone, no replacements.

There are so many things that make this the best Meistersinger I've ever heard and see, but the final handshake reconciliation is the final touch of human greatness. I'll always want to see that ending, and will see it whether it is present or not.
