Edita Gruberova (Norma), Zoran Todorovich (Pollione), Sonia Ganassi (Adalgisa), Roberto Scandiuzzi (Oroveso), Markus Herzog (Flavio)
“Edita Gruberová… is revealed as the great Norma of today. Her singing and acting bring out the complete portrait of the guilt-ridden priestess, trapped between her sense of duty to her religion and country, and the sickening prospect of losing her lover and her children. Jürgen Rose, in total control of the production - stage direction, lighting, costumes and sets - succeeds where many have failed in the past. The semi-abstract sets are beautiful, the costumes simple. Friedrich Haider conducts the Munich forces with fine urgency and an impeccable understanding of the grand sweep of this notoriously tricky work. The whole undertaking is a triumph for all concerned...” Gramophone Magazine
