Norma presented by the Royal Opera House
War, deceit, courage and love kick off the Royal Opera House Live cinema season 2016/17 in a brand new production of Bellinis masterpiece Norma. The new production is set in contemporary times drawing on themes of oppression, religious fanaticism and intolerance. An atmospheric staging allows for the rich fusion of music, dramatic power and world-leading performances to take the cinema audience on a powerful, and relevant, journey.
The title role of Norma is sung by soprano Sonya Yoncheva, a high priestess who betrays her religion to have a secret love and family with her enemy Pollione, sung by Joseph Calleja. Repressed by the inflexible laws of her religion, the soul defining central character is forced towards one fatal solution.
Director Àlex Ollé brings to life the tensions of religion and politics in a contemporary setting. Royal Opera Music Director Antonio Pappano conducts the powerful score, leading the chorus and all-star cast through the sensational arias and choruses.
