Kendal’s In-House opera presentations continue.
Richard Wagner’s Die Meistersinger von Nűrnberg will be shown in two parts on Saturday, May 21, and Sunday, May 22, because of the opera’s length.
The Bayreuth Festival production from 2017 by Australian Barrie Kosky is noteworthy not only because Kosky was the first Jewish director working in Bayreuth, but also because his concept combines Wagner’s late 19th century, the libretto’s 16th, and a 20th-century Nűrnberg courtroom, in which Nazi war criminals were tried. Both parts begin at 1:00 pm in the Gathering Room.
Masks are optional.
