Norma: Bayerische Staatsoper

About the Event

Hear Bellini's opera, the home of the famous aria "Casta diva", performed by the world‐class artists of the Bayerische Staatsoper.

Norma is on the one hand a Grand Opera (with war, and an ancient story), but it is also a psychologically fine‐grained chamber play about a highly complex woman in the throes of terrible conflicts: Norma, high priestess of the Druids and mistress of the Roman proconsul Pollione. When she is betrayed, this "Casta Diva", this "chaste goddess" is determined to take revenge.

The madness, ecstasy and beauty of bel canto!
