Anna Pirozzi returns at Napoli’s San Carlo Theatre with one of the most beautiful and difficult Bellini’s roles, NORMA. Opera by Vincenzo Bellini with a libretto by Felice Romani, based on the tragedy “Norma, ou L’Infanticide” by Louis-Alexandre Soumet. The opera debuted at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan on 26 December 1831, inaugurating the 1832 Carnival and Lent season. The debut of the Opera was a fiasco, due to artistic circumstances (the indisposition of the soprano Giuditta Pasta) and the presence in the Theater of a claque opposed to Bellini and Giuditta Pasta. The subject is set in Gaul, at the time of the Roman Empire, and has explicit links with the myth of Medea. Musical director M°Lorenzo Passerini, stage director Justin Way
