Norma: Teatro Real

About the Event

Bellini's 'Norma' represents the peak of bel canto opera. This opera by Vicenzo Bellini introduces the public of Teatro Real to the tragedy of a woman who has broken her sacred vows and chooses to suffer the fatal consequences.

Davide Livermore's production integrates video sequences that amplify the military drama, while still bringing out the emotional details of Norma's inner conflict.

Practical Information

Please note: In some areas of the Teatro Real, some seats have a partially obstructed view of the stage. Teatro Real recommends category B for the finest and completely unobstructed view of the performance.
