Examples of use of Meistersinger
1. Take the careful selection of Wagner‘s Meistersinger for performance at Nuremberg rallies.
2. With the exception of "Die Meistersinger," which is very much down to earth, Wagner‘s music and texts have, for me, an extraterrestrial quality.
3. The main focus of interest of the '6th Bayreuth Festival next year will be a brand–new production of "Die Meistersinger von Nuernberg" (The Mastersingers of Nuremberg) by Katharina Wagner, the daughter of Bayreuth Festival chief, Wolfgang Wagner.
4. With "Meistersinger," she will become the first woman ever to direct an opera in Bayreuth, aside from the composer‘s widow Cosima who oversaw productions of "Tristan," "Tannhaeuser," "Lohengrin" and the "Ring" between 1886–18'6.
5. Katharina made her directorial debut at Bayreuth this year, producing a closely watched interpretation of "Die Meistersinger von Nuernberg." In an effort to bolster her chances and counter criticism that she is too young and inexperienced, Katharina, who is in her early 30s, recently teamed up with star German conductor Christian Thielemann, 48, and composer and cultural manager Peter Ruzicka, 57.
