A real-time afternoon walk through the heart of Midtown Manhattan, set to the Overture from Richard Wagner's Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg.

This walking tour moves north from Rockefeller Center along 6th Avenue toward Columbus Circle, pairing one of Wagner's most forward-driving scores with the organized energy of Midtown at full pace.

The Overture — civic, purposeful, built on momentum and arrival — finds its natural counterpart in the grid: the density of the avenue, the shift in scale as the park approaches, and the opening up of the city at Columbus Circle.

Whether you're a Wagner enthusiast, a fan of New York City walks, or simply looking for a different way to experience Midtown, this pairing offers something unexpected from a familiar stretch of the city.
