“Ponselle, Milanov, Sutherland, Callas…after last night, Radvanovsky can add her name to the list,” declared the Huffington Post when Sondra Radvanovsky made her Met role debut as Norma in 2013.

The season opens with a new production of Bellini’s masterpiece starring Radvanovsky as the druid priestess and Joyce DiDonato as her rival, Adalgisa—a casting coup for bel canto fans. Tenor Joseph Calleja is Pollione, Norma’s unfaithful lover and Carlo Rizzi conducts. Sir David McVicar’s evocative production sets the action deep in a druid forest where nature and ancient ritual rule. 3h 29m
