Following its triumphant production of Wagner\u2019s The Flying Dutchman<\/a>, Melbourne Opera proudly presented Bellini\u2019s Norma, starring Helena Dix (who has just made her debut at the Metropolitan Opera starring as Alice in Falstaff) as Norma, Jacqui Dark as Adalgisa, Samuel Sakker as Pollione, and Eddie Muliaumaseali\u2019i as Oroveso.<\/p>\n

Norma is regarded as the pinnacle of bel-canto opera; the title role is considered to be the most challenging of soprano roles and was championed by Callas, Sutherland and Caballe. This new production of Norma continues Melbourne Opera\u2019s proud tradition of acclaimed bel canto productions which included Australian premieres of Rossini\u2019s Otello<\/em><\/a> and Donizetti\u2019s Roberto Devereux<\/em><\/a> and Anna Bolena<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
