Synopsis: In Guy Joosten's ingenious production of Bellini's masterpiece, Norma is about more than just beautiful singing. It becomes a layered, timeless drama in which Norma is the archetypal successful woman struggling to retain her dominant but vulnerable position. Hasmik Papian's lyrical and intense interpretation of the title role accentuates the striking similarity betweeb a Druid high priestess and a modern opera diva. Conductor Julian Reynolds guides the brilliant cast, chorus and Neatherlands Chamber Orchestra to great heights, providing a refreshing new take on the chef d'oeuvre of bel canto.
