Taormina Greek Theatre
NORMA by Vincenzo Bellini
Norma is a tragedia lirica, or opera, in two acts by Vincenzo Bellini with libretto by Felice Romani.
The mastepiece of Vincenzo Bellini. An opera written in 1831 by a thirty years old Bellini who was born in Catania (50 kms by Taormina). First produced at La Scala on December 26, 1831, it is generally regarded as an example of the supreme height of the bel canto tradition. “Casta diva” was one of the most familiar arias of the nineteenth century.
The title role is generally considered one of the most difficult in the soprano repertoire. It calls for tremendous vocal control of range, flexibility, and dynamics. It contains a wide range of emotions: conflict of personal and public life, romantic life, maternal love, friendship, jealousy, murderous intent, and resignation.
