Georg Zeppenfeld, Michael Nagy, Michael Spyres, Christina Nilsson, Matthias Stier, Jongmin Park, Christa Mayer, Bayreuth Festival Chorus
Orchester der Bayreuther Festspiele, conducted by Daniele Gatti
staged by Matthias Davids
Wagner defined Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg as the most complete work that he had ever created. The Bayreuth Festival 2025 presents the comedy in a new production staged by Matthias Davids, whose playful irreverence stands between tradition and renewal. Under the exceptional baton of Daniele Gatti, who debuted in Bayreuth in 2008 with Parsifal, the cast showcases its brilliancy and finesse. Georg Zeppenfeld, at the core of the performance, interprets Hans Sachs with excellent vocal skills and particular sensibility. Equally remarkable performances are given by Michael Spyres and Christina Nilsson, respectively Walther and Eva, and Michael Nagy as a finely drawn Beckmesser. The result is a compelling piece of music theatre: “A comedy of manners where themes of art, tradition and human love arise
naturally” (Seen and Heard International).
