		Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg (The Master Singers of Nuremberg) is an opera in three acts, written and composed by Richard Wagner.
		The story revolves around the real-life guild of Meistersinger (Master Singers), an association of amateur poets and musicians, mostly from the middle class and often master craftsmen in their main professions.

		Probably the first important Meistersinger was Michel Behaim of Heidelberg (1416-1474) whose journeys found him active as soldier and singer in the service of German, Danish, and Hungarian princes; the last was Adam Puschmann (1532-1600), a pupil of Hans Sachs.
		On the whole, it may be said that the melodic structure of the Meistersinger tunes represents a transitional stage between the church modes and the major and minor scales.
		The Meistersinger made a sincere effort to perpetuate the musical treasure of the Minnesinger, but their stifling pedantry, their isolation from the main currents of contemporary musical life,' rendered their compositions, in comparison with the older German monophony, forced and stuffy.

		The Prelude begins with the first of the two "Meistersinger" themes, a splendid pompous march emblematic of that famous sixteenth-century guild of musician-tradesmen and merchants who practiced art industriously, even though they tended to conventionalize it, and gave poetry and music official importance in the lives of the people.

	Meistersinger Premiere - Munich
		With the enormous success of the first two recitals, hopes were high for the first opera of the festival, the June 29th premiere of a new Wagner: Meistersinger.
		Here, it is even more exciting because Meistersinger is a Munich work, especially written for this particular opera house, and the world premiere took place here at the Staatsoper.
		In the end, putting the Meistersinger into the modern time, with a modern setting, is very difficult to sustain, especially in Munich, the “Meistersinger” city.
