The Metropolitan Opera’s 2021-22 season of Saturday matinee broadcasts continues with Wagner’s epic comedy about tradition and innovation, Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg – the Mastersingers of Nuremburg, in a performance from last fall.
Maestro Antonio Pappano made a triumphant return to the Met podium, leading the Met Orchestra and Chorus in this rich score.
Baritone Michael Volle starred as the wise shoemaker Hans Sachs, alongside tenor Klaus Florian Vogt as the impetuous young Walther, and soprano Lise Davidsen as Eva.
The acclaimed cast also featured Paul Appleby, Johannes Martin Kränzle, and Georg Zeppenfeld.
Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg will be heard over the Toll Brothers-Metropolitan Opera International Radio Network at 12:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, May 14th.
