Norma on DVD at Bavarian Opera
We love Opera ! ( June 20 Th, 5 pm)
Norma, by Vicenzo Bellini
Once again we are to meet Sergio Ionescu for a new and enchanting Talk about opera Norma, one of the Bel Canto master pieces.
We will enjoy a magnifique ( DVD) performance from Bavarian Opera conducted by Friedrich Haider ( May 2007).
“In Roman-occupied Gaul, around 50 B.C., the Druid priestess Norma must call her people to war against Rome. Secretly Norma has born two children by the Roman proconsul Pollione—an enemy of her people. Pollione, however, has fallen for the young priestess Adalgisa. The diva is more desperate for love than life and makes the ultimate sacrifice to attain it. This lyric tragedy is widely regarded as one of Bellini’s greatest operatic works.” Source: www.operamoto.org

The rake’s Progress, I. Stravinsky
( Opera sung in English Language with subtitles in Spanish)
The Rake’s Progress ( 1951) is a modern opera , one of Igor Stravinsky’s greatest works, and his only full-length opera. The libretto was written by W.H. Auden and Chester Kallman, in the most beautiful English Language.
The Russian composer, fascinated for Cinema and TV, found his inspiration at a series of eight engravings of the same name, works of English artist and satirist William Hogart (18 th Ct). The engravings told the story of the rise and fall of Tom Rakewell, son of a rich merchant, who through lures of London Nightlife is led to his incarceration at an lunatic asylum.
At Stravinsky’s work the poet remained an essential contributor, and opera gives the poet the most imaginative freedom.
