Wolfgang Wagner's Bayreuth Festival production of "Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg". A boisterous, colorful rendition, these "Meistersinger" follow the original stage directions and respect the historical context of the piece. Under a stylized globe, symbolizing the universality of the artist's search for his role in society, the action unfolds in an intricately choreographed interplay of solo scenes and ensembles. Daniel Barenboim's musical direction was unanimously praised by the press. Le Monde, for example, wrote that he "fully displays his spirit: poetic, flowing, very lean, his instrumental discourse is irresistible". Among the vocal soloists, Peter Seiffert (as Walther von Stolzing) and Robert Holl (as Hans Sachs) have repeatedly received awards for their excellent interpretations in previous years. Emily Magee lends a subtle, youthful grace to the coveted young daughter of goldsmith Veit Pogner, sung by Matthias Hölle. The cast also includes Endrik Wottrich as David, Birgitta Svendén as Magdalene, Andreas Schmidt as Beckmesser, Bernhard Schneider, Roman Trekel, Hans-Joachim Ketelsen, Torsten Kerl, Peter Maus, Helmut Pampuch, Sándor Sólyom-Nagy, Alfred Reiter, Jyrki Korhonen as Meistersinger and Kwangchul Youn as Night Watchman. The Bayreuth Festival Choir, conducted by Norbert Balatsch, once again masters the extraordinarily demanding choral part of this opera,
