Sung in Italian with Italian and English surtitles

Duration: 3 hours with intermission

Potendo contare su un cast eccellente che aveva i suoi punti di forza nella prime donne Giuditta Pasta e Giulia Grisi, e nel tenore Domenico Donzelli, il compositore e librettista si misero alla ricerca di un soggetto drammatico che permettesse di sfruttare appieno le doti vocali e di recitazione dei protagonisti. La scelta cadde su un lavoro teatrale andato da poco in scena a Parigi e costruito su tre nuclei tematici di sicuro effetto sul pubblico: il motivo della sacerdotessa che infrange per amore i suoi voti, il tema dell'infanticidio come vendetta amorosa e, per finire, il motivo celtico-barbarico con gli antichi riti nella sacra foresta. Con Norma, Bellini raggiunge l'apice del proprio lirismo vocale, affermando nel contempo una forza drammatica che si rivela sia nella maestosa ed incisiva chiarezza dei recitativi, sia nella solennità della massa corale che fa da sfondo alla tragedia come un grande affresco. Wagner, che certamente non era ben disposto verso l'opera italiana, diresse Norma nel 1837 a Riga, a riprova della profonda ammirazione per quest'opera. Addirittura l'invocazione di Norma “Deh, non volerli vittime”, prima del concertato finale, è alla base della struttura scenico-musicale della morte di Isotta.
