Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg by Wagner, Van (2023/2023), Geregisseerd door Kasper Holten,, Dirigent Lü Jia, Forbidden City Concert Hall, Peking, China

Walther von Stolzing, a knight from another province, falls in love with goldsmith Veit Pogner’s daughter Eva, but Veit has intended to marry his daughter Eva to a singer that will win a singing competition, so Stolzing enrolls in the competition. Unfamiliar with singing skills and competition rules, obstructed by clerk Beckmesser, who has set his mind to marry Eva, Stolzing gets eliminated in the trial match. Nevertheless, shoemaker Sachs sees a force in Stolzing’s talent for singing, which enables him to sing in an unconstrained manner. So, Sachs hopes to achieve a higher ideal.
