Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg (The Master Singers of Nuremberg) is a three-act comic opera composed by Richard Wagner (May 22, 1813 – February 13, 1883). Libretto by Wagner himself, an original work with historical personages. It was first performed in Munich, Königliches Hof- und Nationaltheater, June 21, 1868. Setting is in Nuremberg in the 16th century.
Scene 3. Sachs remembers Walter's song.
Overture.
Scene 3. Beckmesser asks Pogner to intercede on his behalf with Eva. Pogner says that although Eva may refuse the winner of the singing competition, she must still wed a master singer. Hans Sachs suggests that the people and not the master singers should judge the competition. His suggestion was rejected. Pogner proposes Walter for the master singers' guild and Walter performs a trial song while Beckmesser focuses on his compositional and technical mistakes. In a way, Walter's violations of the guild rules disqualify him, but Sachs insists they should hear Walter's song to the end.
