Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg

More about the book

The setting is the interior of St. Catherine's Church, where the last rows of pews are outlined in the background. In the foreground is the open space before the choir, which will later be separated by a black curtain. In the last row sit Eva and Magdalene, while Walther von Stolzing leans against a column nearby, attentively observing Eva, who silently gestures towards him. The scene conveys an atmosphere of tension and unspoken desire between the characters.
