The prelude to the opera Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg was given its world premiere in Leipzigs Gewandhaus on 11 November 1862 in a concert that Wagner organized in conjunction with Hans von Bulow and the composer Wendelin Weissheimer. Wagner personally conducted his own work. The concert was a financial flop; artistically, however, it seems to have been an extraordinary success, for Wagner reported the following day to Joachim Raff: My Meistersinger was excellently played, and the DaCapo demanded with great sincerity. It sounded very fine. Since then and increasingly after its publication in 1866, two years before the world premiere of the opera the prelude has been a beloved concert piece that impressively exposes the major themes of the Meistersinger.
The prelude is a beloved concert piece that impressively exposes the major themes of the "Meistersinger.".
