| Summary |
"Set in picturesque sixteenth-century Nürnberg, the plot revolves around a singing contest organized by the Guild of Mastersingers and the prize promised by the goldsmith, Veit Pogner: his daughter's hand in marriage. Hans Sachs, an historical German composer, cobbler, and philosopher, gradually becomes accepted as the hero of the whole drama."--Container. |
