"The Mastersingers of Nuremberg is Richard Wagner's most ceremonious opera. It is considered the most festive opera per se ... The Mastersingers is Wagner's only opera in which all figures represent ordinary people without any supernatural skills or fates ... The underlying thematic principle here as in many of Wagner's other operas is a conflict. Stolzing, the 'free' artist, is in opposition to the mastersingers and their 'traditional' art. The political spirit of the times, the great debate between conservatives and progressionists, is poignantly reflected here ... Quite unique amongst all of the operas of Richard Wagner."--Guide

Puccini's Manon Lescaut(
Visual
)
1 edition published in 1983 in Italian and held by 64 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Manon Lescaut is a heroine I believe in," wrote Giacomo Puccini to his publisher Giulio Ricordi. Experience Puccini's third opera and first big success in Götz Friedrich's landmark 1983 production at the Royal Opera House. The extraordinary Plácido Domingo and Kiri Te Kanawa take on the roles of the Chevalier Des Grieux and Manon Lescaut, accompanied by the Royal Opera House Choir and Orchestra under the direction of Giuseppe Sinopoli. Before Puccini's Manon Lescaut premiered at the Teatro Regio in Turin in 1893, the Abbé Prévost's famous eponymous novel had already inspired two other operas: Auber's in 1856 and Massenet's in 1884. But in creating his own Manon, Puccini chose to portray a kind of heroine very different from Massenet's frivolous and fragile incarnation. He instead tells a tragic tale of a condemned love, in all of its modern complexity, using a musical language of harmonic subtlety and audacious instrumentation. Following the Wagnerian principle of "continuous opera", the orchestra provides an uninterrupted musical commentary that helps depict the characters inner feelings, an operatic evolution that had begun with Verdi. The 1893 premiere in Turin--a week before Verdi's Falstaff at La Scala--was a great triumph, and led to Puccini's consecration as the heir to Verdi's artistic legacy. Manon Lescaut also constituted the first in a long line of collaborations with the librettists Giuseppe Giacosa and Luigi Illica, who would both play a major part in Puccini's next three successes: La Bohème, Tosca, and Madame Butterfly
