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.

Critic Reviews (1)

“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.”
