Teatro Real: Norma

A staging of Vincenzo Bellini's opera Norma, performed at the Teatro Real in Madrid as an opera show. A production from the Romantic lyrical repertoire in the main hall of the Madrid theatre.

Norma is an opera in which Vincenzo Bellini sets the drama in Roman Gaul, with a priestess protagonist who maintains a forbidden relationship with a Roman officer. The plot revolves around the tension between duty and love, and the consequences that this conflict has for the main characters.

In the auditorium, the show unfolds as an opera performance with singing and orchestra, in which the weight falls on the solo voices, the choruses and the dramatic development of the score. It is a production designed for audiences who enjoy the lyrical repertoire of early Italian Romanticism.

The Teatro Real hosts concerts and shows in Madrid, and this production forms part of its opera programme. The performances are offered on several dates throughout the season.
