Die Meistersinger Von Nürnberg – Opernhaus Düsseldorf, Duesseldorf

About this event

In his third staging for Deutsche Oper am Rhein, director Daniel Kramer presents an opulent production that treats Wagner’s opera as a parable for a society whose order is not only backward-looking but ideologically charged and dangerous: rules become weapons, tradition enforces exclusion, and community closes ranks.
