    Desc: Norma de Vincenzo Bellini au Gran Teatre del Liceu: Directed by Jean-Pierre Loisil. "If we weep from emotion on hearing it, it's nothing to be ashamed of", Richard Wagner about Vincenzo Bellini's most famous opera. In Roman-dominated Gaul, the high priestess Norma has broken her vow of chastity by entering a relationship with the Roman pro-consul Pollione and the birth of their two children has been kept secret. But when she discovers she has a rival, jealousy sets in. Norma is a classical heroine, passionate and revengeful, and her dilemma provides the starting point for the most successful work by the last and greatest composer of bel canto.
