Opera by Bellini
An encore screening of Vincenzo Bellini’s opera “Norma,” which opened the new season of the Met: Live in HD two weeks ago, will take place at Guild Hall on Saturday at 1 p.m. The new production of the bel canto tragedy is conducted by Carlo Rizzi and directed by David McVicar. It stars Sondra Radvanovsky in the title role, which the soprano Renata Scotto has called “the Everest of opera.”
One of the world’s leading interpreters of the Druid high priestess, Ms. Radvanovsky has previously sung the role at the Canadian Opera Company, the San Francisco Opera, the Bavarian State Opera, Gran Teatre del Liceu, and the Lyric Opera of Chicago. Tickets are $20, $15 for Guild Hall members.
Victoria Bond, a composer, conductor, and opera scholar, will give a pre-opera lecture on “Norma” at noon. Tickets are $30, $28 for members.
