Summary:

Montserrat Caballé is one of the few sopranos who have triumphed at the Met in the Herculean role of Norma. She was acclaimed for the astonishing beauty of her voice, her unbelievable breath control, and the ability to spin out shimmering soft tones that sent the audience into a frenzy. When she brought those formidable gifts to Bellini's magical score, the result was electrifying. Fiorenza Cossotto is Norma's friend, Adalgisa, and her rival for the affections of Pollione (Carlo Cossutta, in his Met debut).

Contents:

Sinfonia

Ite sul colle, o Druidi

Svanir le voci! Meco all'altar di Venere

Odi? I suoi ritti a compiere Norma

Norma viene: le cinge la chioma

Sediziose voci, voci di guerra

Casta diva, che inargenti

Fine al rito, e il sacro bosco

Sgombra è la sacra selva ; Deh! proteggimi, o Dio!

Eccola! Va, crudele

Vieni in Roma, ah, vieni, o cara

Vanne, e li cela entrambi

Adalgisa! Alma, costanza

Oh! Rimembranza! Io fui così rapita al sol mirarlo in volto

Ma di' l'amato giovane ; Oh non tremare

Oh! Di qual sei tu vittima

Introduzione

Dormono entrambi ; Teneri, teneri figli

Me chiami, o Norma

Mira, o Norma, a'tuoi ginocchi

Sì, fino all'ore

Non partì? Finora è al campo

Guerrieri! A voi venirme

Ei tornerà

Squilla il bronzo del Dio! Guerra! Guerra!

Né compi il rito, o Norma?

In mia man alfin tu sei

Dammi quel ferro

Qual cor tradisti

Norma! Deh! Norma, scòlpati

Deh! Non volerli vittime.
