De Gallische hogepriesteres Norma doet er alles aan om een onvermijdelijke opstand tegen de Romeinse onderdrukker zo lang mogelijk af te wenden. Pollione, de Romeinse bestuurder van het bezette Gallië, is al jaren Norma’s geheime minnaar en de vader van haar twee clandestiene kinderen. Wanneer Norma te weten komt dat Pollione haar verlaat voor de veel jongere Adalgisa, wordt ze gedwongen te kiezen tussen vaderlandse plicht en moederlijke zorg, tussen wraak en vergeving, tussen haat en liefde. Vincenzo Bellini schiep met Norma een van de absolute hoogtepunten uit de belcanto opera. De bloedmooie aria’s en de aangrijpende duetten vereisen een uitzonderlijke virtuositeit, die altijd ten dienste staat van de muzikale vertelling. Dirigent Alejo Pérez brengt Bellini’s bezwerende compositie tot leven met de indrukwekkende Anna Princeva in de titelrol, die weleens de zwaarste zangpartij uit het hele operarepertoire genoemd wordt.

Nederlands

The Gallic high priestess Norma does everything she can to stave off an inevitable uprising against the Roman oppressor for as long as possible. Pollione, the Roman ruler of occupied Gaul, has been Norma’s secret lover for years and is the father of her two clandestine children. When Norma learns that Pollione is leaving her for the much younger Adalgisa, she is forced to choose between patriotic duty and motherly care, between revenge and forgiveness, between hatred and love. With Norma, Vincenzo Bellini created one of the absolute highlights of the belcanto opera. The stunning arias and the moving duets require exceptional virtuosity, which remains at the service of the musical narrative. Conductor Alejo Pérez brings Bellini’s mesmerising composition to life with the impressive Anna Princeva in the title role, which is sometimes called the hardest vocal part in the entire opera repertoire.
