Traditional mastersingers
Although very well sung, especially by Ben Heppner,the production was a traditional one in that the scenery was heavy and the acting pedestrian.

Customer Review
I have known the music to most of this opera for getting on for sixty years but have never seen it staged. This performance is superb especially James Morris as Hans Sachs and the Beckmesser of Thomas Allen. The staging and costumes are in keeping with the time it was written. (No modern update here). To watch this opera along with the english subtitles really brings home the comedy of the piece. Don't be put off by the length of it. This is no Pagliaaci. Watch it over two nights if necessary but if you like Wagner's music and have never seen one of his opera's give this a try. Better still rent it from Amazon as I did. You can purchase it later.It is cheaper than four CD's anyway.
