San Diego Opera Spotlight: Bellini's Norma

2/14/2003; 26 minutes

Join us for a backstage tour of San Diego Opera's presentation of Bellini's bel canto masterpiece. Norma tells the story of a mystical era when women ruled through Druid magic - until the Romans came and passion conquered. Conducted by the legendary Richard Bonynge and directed by Covent Garden's John Copley, Norma features some of opera's greatest arias, and truly awesome choruses, as well as spectacular Metropolitan Opera sets and costumes. Don't miss it. (#6559)
