Bellini: Norma DVD (De Nederlandse Opera)Experience Guy Joosten's masterful production of Bellini's genius opera, Norma, on DVD. This artistic performance transcends mere beautiful singing. It becomes a layered, timeless drama in which Norma is the archetypal successful woman struggling to retain her dominant but vulnerable position. Hasmik Papian's lyrical and intense interpretation of the title role accentuates the striking similarity between a Druid high priestess and a modern opera diva.
