A pearl of Italian opera

Librettist Felice Romani and composer Vincenzo Bellini were at the peak of their career when they wrote Norma. The opera was reworked tirelessly, with the result that not only is the libretto a splendid piece of work but the opera is one of the finest in the bel canto tradition. Norma is considered one of the hardest and most highly respected soprano roles. The work features the celebrated aria Casta Diva. 

Gaul and Rome are at war. Norma, high-priestess of the Druids, and the Roman Pollione are secretly in love and they have two children, even though Norma has taken a vow of celibacy. As the deception and secrets start to be revealed, there is only one alternative, to escape – either that or burn on a funeral pyre.
