Synopsis

Norma

---

Star soprano Sonya Yoncheva sings the towering role of Bellini's Norma - a priestess torn between love and duty - in a timeless tale of love and betrayal, set in a fanatically religious and war-torn modern society. The spectacular production of Alex Olle for The Royal Opera also stars Joseph Calleja as Norma's former lover Pollione, leader of the forces occupying her country, Brindley Sherratt as her domineering father Oroveso, and Sonia Ganassi as Adalgisa, her greatest friend and unwitting rival in love. Royal Opera Music Director Antonio Pappano leads this superb cast, the Royal Opera House in one of the greatest works of the bel canto repertory.
