Featuring an international Australian cast, the new Melbourne Opera production will be conducted by internationally acclaimed Wagner maestro Anthony Negus and directed by Suzanne Chaundy, the team who delivered Australia’s award-winning first regional production of Wagner’s masterpiece, The Ring Cycle in Bendigo in 2023.

Four performances of Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg will be given in an intimate theatrical setting specially designed to showcase the beautifully restored Royal Exhibition Building, creating a spectacular environment for Wagner’s epic work.
