This production of Vincenzo Bellini’s Norma from the Macerata Opera Festival was described by the Italian press as ‘a perfect synthesis of cast, direction, sets, lighting and costumes’; the aria ‘Casta diva’ received a standing ovation. Among the superb cast, Uruguayan soprano Maria José Siri stands out in the title role, along with Italian mezzo Sonia Ganassi, who shines as Adalgisa.
