Performer: Vlada Borovko

Àlex Ollé und sein Fura dels Baus-Team bringen eine optisch spektakuläre Norma auf die Bühne, die erste Covent Garden-Neuproduktion von Bellinis Oper in fast 30 Jahren.

While Bellini’s two-act opera Norma underscores the religious wars between the ancient Druids and Romans, it also highlights an emotive personal conflict that is veiled in deceit and cultural discrepancy.

A strange evening: superb Mozart playing from Rousset, plenty of fine singing, staging and costumes that one certainly isn’t going to forget. But what’s the point of it all?
