About the Show

A remounting of the 2017 production of Bellini's classic opera.

Soprano Sonya Yoncheva embodies another major heroine of the opera, starring as the titular brave priestess in Bellini’s blazing bel canto drama. The outstanding cast also features tenor Michael Spyres as Norma’s unfaithful Roman lover, mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova as Norma’s student turned rival, and bass-baritone Christian Van Horn as Norma’s warrior father out for vengeance. Maurizio Benini conducts David McVicar’s bold production.

Slow, Entertaining, Absorbing, Great writing, Great singing

See it if wonderful music well played and acted. Boring sets and relatively little action. Yoncheva sings well but her acting is bland

Don't see it if you want a powerhouse Norma like Radvanovsky. The central character is empty and while the supporting characters act well it is boring

Absorbing, Great writing, Great singing, Masterful, Great staging

See it if Every part of this worked: music, singing, set design. It SHOULD be a depressing show, w/the subject matter, but 2hr later I'm still happy.

Don't see it if The 2nd act drags a little at the end, but make no mistake: in a FANTASTIC season at the Met, this is one of the brightest stars.

Delightful, Clever, Absorbing

See it if You enjoy Opera’s with great score and staging

Don't see it if Storyline was a bit basic and somehow doesn’t make sense

Great staging, Great singing, Entertaining, Enchanting, Delightful

See it if Beautiful music, singing and incredible sets.

Don't see it if You prefer musicals

“Called upon to do little more than stand and deliver, this cast did so splendidly. One sat mesmerized by the beauty of their singing and the emotions that they generated through voice alone, with nary a needless visual distraction.”
