what is art What is art presumption? Those still hotly debated questions about the importance of art for our society and our lives are at the center of Richard Wagner's musical comedy Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg . Set in Nuremberg at the time of the Reformation, Wagner created anything but a retrospective historical drama. After his TristanThe composer had in mind a cheerful and humorous satyr play in which, starting from a classic comedy situation, he shows the rivalry between two men for a woman, the competition between the categories of tradition and progress, present and future in the form of a singing contest. Wagner had already put his first ideas on paper in the 1840s, but the counterpart to Tannhäuser and one of Richard Wagner's most complex but also richest scores was not completed until 20 years later. "What juices and forces, what seasons and heavens are mixed here." ( Friedrich Nitzsche )
