In his mature music dramas, Tristan und Isolde, Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, Der Ring des Nibelungen and Parsifal, he abolished the distinction between aria and recitative in favour of a seamless flow of " endless melody ".

Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg ( The Mastersingers of Nuremberg ) is an opera in three acts, written and composed by Richard Wagner.

Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg occupies a unique place in Wagner's oeuvre.

Die Meistersinger is, like Orfeo, Capriccio, and Wagner's own earlier Tannhäuser, a musical composition in which the composition of music is a pivotal part of the story.

Wagner's autobiography Mein Leben described the genesis of Die Meistersinger.

As a result of reading Schopenhauer's theories on the role of music, Wagner now re-evaluated this prescription for opera, and hence many of these features can be found in Die Meistersinger.

Although Die Meistersinger is a comedy, it also elucidates Wagner's ideas on the place of music in society, on renunciation of the Will, and of the solace that music brings in a world full of Wahn ( which may be translated into English as " illusion ", " madness ", " folly " or " self-deception ").

Following the completion of Tristan und Isolde, Wagner resumed work on Die Meistersinger in 1861 with a completely different philosophical outlook from that he held when he first drafted his comedy.

Wagner did not resume work on Parsifal for eight years, during which time he completed Tristan und Isolde and began Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg.
