Between art and artistry, tradition and taboo, music-making and mentorship - with DIE MEISTERSINGER VON NÜRNBERG, one of Richard Wagner's most popular and co...

Almost 30 years ago, the Deutsche Oper Berlin last saw a premiere of Richard Wagner's DIE MEISTERSINGER. Now the monumental opera is returning to the Wagner House on Bismarckstrasse in a new production by Jossi Wieler and Sergio Morabito, under the musical direction of General Music Director Sir Donald Runnicles.

As early as the 1840s, Richard Wagner outlined the first ideas for a cheerful opera, which in terms of content was to follow the artistic drama TANNHÄUSER UND DER SÄNGERKRIEG AUF WARTBURG, which premiered in 1845: the artistic competition is the starting point for a drama of ideas about the antagonism of old and new, Standstill and progress, perseverance and innovation. However, the counterpart to TANNHÄUSER was not completed until 20 years later, and the score of MEISTERSINGER became one of the most complex compositions in operatic literature. In the massive structure of four and a half hours of pure playing time, Wagner resorts to polyphonic "old master" techniques, combines songs and chorales with complex motivic work and thus creates a completely new Meistersinger sound. It already presents itself in the prelude in radiant C major and also ends with maximum sound splendor on the final Festwiese. At the end there is the restoration of the tried and tested, the "perfect" pure world, the world of art and the "art connoisseur". The world of MEISTERSINGER proves to be a closed system, not only in the guild of Meistersinger, ironicized by Wagner, pedantic in their art and conforming to the rules, but also in the entire city society of Nuremberg: The new - in the form of the stranger Walther von Stolzing - can not develop revolutionary power, but is included in the system. For their new production, Jossi Wieler and Sergio Morabito seek to get to the bottom of the mechanisms of such a hermetic art society. Can art in a conservative,

Jossi Wieler and Sergio Morabito have been producing music theater together since 1994. Her work has received numerous awards: her production of ARIADNE AUF NAXOS at the 2001 Salzburg Festival was voted performance of the year. In 2002 and 2012, the duo was voted "Directing Team of the Year", in 2006 they received the German Theater Prize DER FAUST in the category "Best Opera Director" for DOKTOR FAUST and in 2012 for DIE GLUCKliche HAND / DESTINY, and their production BERENIKE, QUEEN OF ARMENIA by Nicolo Jommelli was hailed as "Dig of the Year" in 2014. The productions were created in the often surprising, subversive and surreal-realistic rooms of the set designer Anna Viebrock, who has had a congenial artistic partnership with Jossi Wieler and Sergio Morabito since 1994.

The Danish baritone Johan Reuter, one of the most distinguished singers on all major stages worldwide, will take on the role of Hans Sachs. At the Deutsche Oper Berlin he could also be seen in key roles in his field, such as Verdi's Nabucco, Barak in Strauss' DIE FRAU OHNE SCHATTEN and the title role in Berg's WOZZECK. In autumn 2020 he took over the role of Wotan in the new production DIE WALKÜRE. Klaus Florian Vogt returns to the Deutsche Oper Berlin as Walther von Stolzing. Since his triumphant debut with the MEISTERSINGERN at the Bayreuth Festival in 2007, he has been one of the outstanding and internationally sought-after Wagner tenors of our time. The American soprano Heidi Stober began her international career here at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, where she performed roles including Susanna, Pamina, Elvira, Adina, Nannetta, Oscar, Gretel and Micaëla, and most recently in Turnage's GREEK, makes her role debut as Eva. The young baritone Philipp Jekal, who has been a member of the Deutsche Oper Berlin since 2018, also makes a role debut as Beckmesser.
