    About this ebook

    Norma è un'opera in due atti di Vincenzo Bellini su libretto di Felice Romani, tratto dalla tragedia francese Norma, ou L'infanticide di Louis-Alexandre Soumet.
    Composta in meno di tre mesi, nel 1831, fu data in prima assoluta al Teatro alla Scala di Milano il 26 dicembre dello stesso che pure diventerà la più popolare tra le dieci composte da Bellini, fu un fiasco Ma era anche un’Opera insolita. La drammaturgia di Romani era stranamente severa e l'assenza del momento musicalmente più sontuoso, il concertato che tradizionalmente chiudeva il primo dei due atti, scontentò il pubblico milanese.
    Il soggetto è ambientato nelle Gallie al tempo dell'antica Roma, e presenta espliciti legami con il mito di Medea. Fedele a questa idea di classica sobrietà, Bellini adottò per Norma una tinta orchestrale particolarmente omogenea, relegando l'orchestra al ruolo di accompagnamento della voce.

      Foresta sacra de' Druidi.

      In mezzo, la quercia d'Irminsul, al pie' della quale vedesi la pietra druidica che serve d'altare. Colli in distanza sparsi di selve. È notte; lontani fuochi trapelano dai boschi.

      Al suono d'una marcia religiosa sfilano le schiere de' Galli, indi la processione de' Druidi. Per ultimo Oroveso coi maggiori Sacerdoti.

      OROVESO.

      Ite sul colle, o Druidi;

      Ite a spiar ne' cieli

      Quando il suo disco argenteo

      La nuova Luna sveli;

      Ed il primier sorriso

      Del verginal suo viso

      Tre volte annunzi il mistico

      Bronzo sacerdotal.
