Finley has been singing for many years and is in his 40's. This was a staging for the "new" Glyndebourne which seats around 1000. Finley's performance is superior to Fischer-Dieskau's who never performed the role on stage. Compared to Weikl I will admit that the German is a wonderful Sachs and I am glad to have both. The worst blot in the English production was the casting of von Stolzing who would have trouble singing Tamino.
Gerald Finley is just fantastic.
who is this adolescent boy singing Hans Sachs?

@@davy91101but that Walter was very beautiful 😊 the production was amazing, with Dürer's imagery. Also the meistersingers were well-done
