Opera at the Met : Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg (Part 1 of 2) Saturday, February 21 & 28 1:00 p.m., Community Room
Join fellow residents for an Opera at the Met. Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg (The Master- Singers of Nuremberg) is an opera in three acts by Richard Wagner. It is commonly performed, taking nearly four and a half hours. This afternoon, part 1 will be shown. The story is set in Nuremberg in the mid-16th century. At the time, Nuremberg was a free imperial city and one of the centers of the Renaissance in Northern Europe. The story revolves around the city’s guild of Meistersinger (Master Singers), an association of amateur poets and musicians who were primarily master craftsmen of various trades. The master singers had developed a craftsman-like approach to music-making, with an intricate system of rules for composing and performing songs. The work draws much of its atmosphere from its depiction of the Nuremberg of the era and the traditions of the master-singer guild. Save the date: Saturday, February 28, for the viewing of Part 2.
