Wagner's Die Meistersinger Von N眉rnberg
Presented by Martin Handley

Wagner's Die Meistersinger Von N眉rnberg with Wolfgang Koch (Hans Sachs), Simon O'Neill (Walter von Stolzing) and Emma Bell (Eva). Antonio Pappano conducts live from the Royal Opera.

Seizing his opportunity after mass, Walther, a young knight from Franconia asks Eva Pogner if she happens to be engaged. Eva, who has fallen in love with Walther at first sight, tells him that her father has arranged to give her hand in marriage to the winner of the guild's song contest on the next day. Walther plans to qualify as a mastersinger during the guild meeting, traditionally held in the church after mass, and thus earn a place in the song contest despite his utter ignorance of the master-guild's rules and conventions. But this is easier said than done...
