Of all the roles of romantic bel canto, that of Norma is reputed to be one of the most demanding, requiring exceptional qualities on the part of its interpreter. Abandoned at the beginning of the 20th century, it was Maria Callas who brought it out of relative oblivion and made its cavatina a signature aria, going so far as to proclaim: “Bellini composed Norma for me. Since then, the greatest performers have taken it up. It is Karine Deshayes' turn to perpetuate this heritage in a new show by Marie-Eve Signeyrole directed by Andrea Sanguineti.
