Teatro La Fenice reopens its doors after the summer break with a spectacular new production of Vincenzo Bellini’s supreme Belcanto masterpiece, “Norma.” This prestigious staging is a high-profile international collaboration between the Fondazione Teatro La Fenice and the National Theatre of Georgia. Brought to life by the visionary direction of Maria Todaro, with striking sets by Stéphane Moravski, the performance is under the baton of maestro Ramon Tebar. Leading the exceptional cast is the rising soprano star Marigona Qerkezi in the demanding, emotionally devastating title role of the Druid high priestess. She is joined by Hasmik Torosian as Adalgisa and Martin Muehle as Pollione, promising an evening of vocal and dramatic perfection.

Plot of Norma
In Roman-occupied Gaul, the Druid high priestess Norma has secretly broken her sacred vows of chastity by bearing two children with the Roman proconsul Pollione. Her secret world shatters when Pollione abandons her for Adalgisa, a young temple novice. Heartbroken and furious, Norma considers killing her own children to punish him but is stopped by maternal love. When Adalgisa learns of the betrayal, she refuses Pollione and urges him to return to Norma. However, Pollione attempts to abduct Adalgisa from the temple. Norma discovers the attempt and calls the Gauls to war against Rome. When Pollione is captured, Norma offers him a final choice: give up Adalgisa or die. When he refuses, Norma publicly confesses her own guilt to the Druids. Touched by her supreme sacrifice, Pollione’s love is rekindled, and he joins Norma on the sacrificial pyre.
