SUMMARY:Norma
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:The will to resist the Roman is growing among the Galls\, and 
 Norma should finally give the sign for an uprising against the oppressor i
 n the name of the god of war. But she hesitates due to a conflict of consc
 ience: despite her vow of chastity\, Norma has two children\, hidden from 
 the public\, fathered by the Roman Pollione. When she finds out that Polli
 one loves the novice Adalgisa and wants to run away with her\, her situati
 on seems hopeless. If she reveals her double life\, she risks not only her
  own standing\, but that of her children as well.\n\nVincenzo Bellini’s 
 opera\, which premiered in 1831\, is considered the epitome of bel canto\,
  but it offers a great deal more than just “beautiful singing”. Richar
 d Wagner already acknowledged that the amazing dramatic music is a portrai
 t of the protagonist’s soul. In his interpretation\, Vasily Barkhatov un
 derscores Norma’s sense of being torn between her public role and her pe
 rsonal feelings against the backdrop of a political revolution.
