one of the few 'traditional' productions I've noticed at Bayreuth--refreshing, easy on the eyes and matches the libretto. The managment must have been out of town for the season. They need to do this more often.
an excellent rendition BUT I think the 2005 Met Opera DVD "mehr besser ist" with Levine conducting James Morris as Hans Sacks and Thomas Allen as Beckmesser

Prey is great in that role.- What's about act III?

The most elegent Beckmesser sung by one of the greatest liederist of all time.
In this production of Meistersinger Eva should have chosen him instead of Walther´s.

@Antillas636 Perhaps the Beckmesser song is better than that by Walter?
