Norma Opera Tickets
See the timeless opera with Norma tickets. Norma is an operatic tragedy written by Vincenzo Bellini in the early 19th century. It is loosely based on the play Norma, or The Infanticide by Alexandre Soumet. The plot centers around a love triangle between protagonists Pollione, Norma and Adalgis during an uprising in Roman-occupied Gaul. Today Norma is seen as a quintessential example of the now rare bel canto style of opera, primarily due to its famous opening song “Casta Diva.”
Bellini worked intimately with the actors that would be featured in the opera’s 1831 premiere, and as such crafted the opera’s music with special consideration for their vocal abilities. Despite an arduous composition process, Norma became one of the most celebrated of Bellini’s works.
Norma was first performed in 1831 at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, where it was a runaway success. Within only a few years, the opera had enjoyed productions in opera houses in nearly every European country. The piece has seen many landmark revivals, particularly an 1837 production conducted by no less than Richard Wagner. Norma received praise from historical greats like the composer Giuseppe Verdi and the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. Get Norma tickets today to see this influential opera performed live.

What are the best seats to see Norma live?
Opera seating choices rely on both financial capabilities and personal viewing preferences. Audience members should choose mid-to-front rows in the center orchestra for the ideal sound and view combination but those who want a grand panoramic perspective should opt for seats in the front mezzanine or balcony. People should choose seats in the middle orchestra or mezzanine for the best acoustic experience because opera houses have sound systems that transmit sound efficiently to these areas. The rear orchestra and balcony sections offer affordable seating choices at the expense of slightly reduced sound quality.
