Hailed as “profoundly moving and utterly magnificent,” Die Meistersinger brings to life the story of Hans Sachs, the wise cobbler-poet, and Walther von Stolzing, the bold knight whose love for Eva inspires an extraordinary song contest. Wagner’s only comedy is a celebration of art’s enduring power to unite communities and reveal our deepest truths.
Featuring an internationally renowned leading cast, with Warwick Fyfe as Hans Sachs, Lee Abrahmsen as Eva, James Egglestone as Walther von Stolzing, Christopher Hillier as Sixtus Beckmesser, Robert Macfarlane as David, and Deborah Humble as Magdalene, alongside an outstanding supporting cast of Meisters and Apprentices.
This once-in-a-lifetime production is conducted by non-other than Wagner maestro Anthony Negus, and directed by Suzanne Chaundy, the same team behind the award-winning presentation of The Ring Cycle in Bendigo last year.
With only four performances, seats are strictly limited. Don’t miss your chance to witness this rare operatic treasure performed in one of Melbourne’s most iconic venues.
