Proms: Die Meistersinger

[sawyl]

I enjoyed WNO's production of Die Meistersinger every bit as much as expected. The singing was excellent throughout. Bryn Terfel was as good as promised as Sachs, but the rest of the cast were more than upto the challenge and he didn't put them in the shade — I particularly liked Amanda Roocroft's Eva and Christopher Purves' duplicitous Beckmesser.

For once, I felt that reality actually lived up to the hyperbole.
