Vincenzo Bellini’s Norma at the Royal Opera House
© Bill Cooper
For the first new production of Bellini’s Norma at the Royal Opera House in 30 years, Royal Opera Music Director Antonio Pappano conducts a superlative cast of internationally renowned singers, led by Sonya Yoncheva. The young singer star and acclaimed soprano makes her debut in the title role alongside tenor Joseph Calleja as Norma’s secret lover, Pollione.
Bellini’s classic bel canto opera is full of wonderful melodies and opportunities for star singing. But is especially known for its stunning showpiece aria “Sasta diva”.
Àlex Ollé of the innovative Catalan theatre group La Fura dels Baus directs, bringing a modern edge to this timeless tale of love, rivalry and betrayal set against a backdrop of war driven by the extremes of a fanatically religious, fascist society.
