Overture to Die Meistersinger (1868) by Richard Wagner (1813-1883)
This clip of "Overture to Die Meistersinger" from the one-hour special "Rick Steves' Europe: A Symphonic Journey," announces the optimistic mood of the opera Die Meistersinger, its composer, and of Germany itself in the 1860s. Wagner had just returned to his homeland after 12 years in exile, and he found the place humming with activity.
In "Rick Steves' Europe: A Symphonic Journey" Rick teams up with the Cascade Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Michael Miropolsky, on a musical tour that begins in the USA, then touches down in seven different European countries. The result is a performance that combines Europe's most stirring Romantic-era anthems with beautiful high-definition cinematography and Rick's insights into European history.
