What?

Info:
Approximate Running Time: Duration - 4.5 hours including 2 intervals Featuring an international Australian cast, the new Melbourne Opera production will be conducted by internationally acclaimed Wagner maestro Anthony Negus and directed by Suzanne Chaundy, the team who delivered Australia's award-winning first regional production of Wagner's masterpiece, The Ring Cycle in Bendigo in 2023. Meistersinger is central to understanding Wagner's ideas on the role of music in society, on the renunciation of will and on the solace music can bring in a world full of delusion, folly, self-deception. It incorporates many of the operatic conventions that Wagner had railed against in his essays on the theory of opera: rhymed verse, arias, choruses, a quintet, and even a dance. .
