HUNGARIAN STATE OPERA: NORMA, Sep 2010 - March 2011
 

An opera in two acts by Vincenzo Bellini with Libretto by Felice Romani, after the tragedy of the name by Louis Alexandre Soumet.

Set in ancient Gaul, 'Norma' tells of the clash between the Druids and the occupying Romans. While the Druids plan a revolt against their oppressors, the priestess Norma is wrestling with her own inner demons, as she attempts to win back the love of the Roman proconsul Pollione, whose children she has secretly borne. She must face the tragic destiny that this conflict between love and public duty sets in motion, and which culminates in the immolation of Norma and Pollione.
