Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg

Billed as the opera event of 2025, Melbourne Opera's multi-million dollar production of Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg will see opera lovers experience a 4.5-hour production of Wagner's epic – and only – comedy, with multiple intervals across the afternoon and evening. Themed catering will be available.

Staged at the resplendent world heritage-listed Royal Exhibition Building, the production comes from Suzanne Chaundy, the visionary director behind the groundbreaking, internationally acclaimed Ring Cycle Cultural Festival in 2023.

International Wagner expert Anthony Negus returns once again to conduct, marking seven years collaborating with Suzanne Chaundy on Wagner operas.

The production features an all Australian cast and will employ over 200 performers, musicians, and creatives.
