Summary:
Few roles in the soprano repertoire match the vocal and dramatic demands of the title heroine of Norma, Bellini's fiery bel canto drama about a druid priestess withholding a fatal secret. During the 2022-23 season, replacing an ailing colleague with very little notice, Australian soprano Helena Dix took on the formidable title character live during a Saturday Matinee Radio Broadcast. Alongside her, tenor Michael Spyres starred as Pollione, the illicit father of her children, who ultimately abandons her and kindles a new romance with the novice Adalgisa, sung by mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova. As Norma's unbending father, the warrior Oroveso, bass-baritone Christian Van Horn completed the principal quartet, with veteran Italian maestro Maurizio Benini on the podium.
Contents:
Sinfonia
Ite sul colle, o Druidi...Dell'aura tua profetica
Svanir le voci!...Meco all'altar di Venere
Odi? I suoi ritti a compiere Norma...Me protegge, me difende un poter maggior di loro
Norma viene, Le cinge la chioma
Sediziose voci, voci di guerra
Casta diva
Fine al rito, e il sacro bosco
Sgombra è la sacra selva, compiuto il rito
Eccola! Va, mi lascia...Va, crudele
Vieni in Roma, ah! vieni, o cara
Vanne, e li cela entrambi
Adalgisa!...Alma, costanza
Oh! Rimembranza!
Ma di'. . . l'amato giovane quale fra noi si noma?...Oh non tremare
Oh! Di qual sei tu vittima
Perfido! Or basti
Vanne, sì: mi lascia, indegno
Introduzione
Dormono entrambi...Teneri, teneri figli
Me chiami, o Norma!
Deh! Con te, con te il prendi
Mira, o Norma
Sì, fino all'ore estreme
Non partì?
Guerrieri! A voi venirne
Ah! Del Tebro al giogo indegno
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, qual cor perdesti
Norma! Deh! Norma, scolpati
Deh! Non volerli vittime.
