Composer Richard Wagner made a name for himself by authoring epic-length operas, and his 1868 Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg is no exception, typically checking in at around 4 1/2 hours. The comedic work, which takes place in 16th Century Nuremburg, showcases the attempts of two competing Meistersingers (or amateur musicians and poets) to woo and win the hand of the fetching Eva, the town goldsmith's daughter.
