Norma Bellini

Public

Approved

Norma is perhaps one of the great operas of Bellini, of the bel canto repertoire and of the entire history of opera. The libretto, by Felice Romani, is an adaptation of Alexandre Soumet's tragedy Norma ou l'infanticide (1831), based in turn on Chateaubriand's Les Martyrs (1809) and on the myth of Medea. Set in the world of the druids of Gaul, it narrates the loves of Norma, daughter of the High Priest of the Oroveso druids, and a Roman soldier. Jealousy, revenge, betrayal, maternal piety, passionate love and redemption are the characteristic elements of this Bellini opera that represents the synthesis between Neoclassicism and a still incipient Romanticism.

Norma es quizá una de las grandes óperas de Bellini, del repertorio belcantista y de toda la historia de la ópera. El libreto, de Felice Romani, es una adaptación de la tragedia de Alexandre Soumet Norma ou l’infanticide (1831), basada a su vez en la obra Les Martyrs de Chateaubriand (1809) y en el mito de Medea. Ambientada en el mundo de los druidas de la Galia, narra los amores de Norma, hija del Gran Sacerdote de los druidas Oroveso, y un militar romano. Celos, venganza, traición, piedad materna, amor apasionado y redención constituyen los elementos característicos de esta ópera de Bellini que representa la síntesis entre el Neoclasicismo y un Romanticismo todavía incipiente.
