* Casta Diva -  Bellini (Norma) * Maria Callas / Leontyne Price Montserrat Caballé / Renée Fleming Sumi Jo / Cecilia Bartoli / Anna Netrebko - Norma (Opera) - Norma (Italian: [ˈnɔrma]) is a tragedia lirica or opera in two acts by Vincenzo Bellini (3 November 1801 – 23 September 1835) with libretto by Felice Romani after Norma, ou L'infanticide (Norma, or The Infanticide) by Alexandre Soumet. It was first produced at La Scala in Milan on 26 December 1831. The opera is regarded as a leading example of the bel canto genre, and the soprano prayer Casta diva in Act I is justly famous. Notable exponents of the title role in the post-war period have been Maria Callas, Joan Sutherland, Montserrat Caballé and, in the 2007, Biondi-Minasi critical edition based on Bellini's autograph score, Cecilia Bartoli. - Casta Diva (Norma's Aria from Bellini's 'Norma') - Sung in the first act of Bellini’s famous opera, Norma,  the high priestess Norma is visited by a group of angry Druids. They beseech her to declare war on Rome after the Roman soldiers occupied  the Druids’ land and began oppressing their citizens. Norma assuages their fury and convinces them that now is not the time to fight. If they are patient, the Romans will fall by their own doing; an intervention is not necessary. Norma sings a prayer to the moon goddess asking her for peace. What is not known by the other Druids is that Norma has fallen in love with a Roman. She secretly hopes no war will be fought so that her lover will be safe. https://youtu.be/DDax8rSE8I8 Maria Callas - Parigi 1958 - Norma   Maria Callas (Greek: December 2, 1923 – September 16, 1977), was a Greek-American soprano, and one of the most renowned and influential opera singers of the 20th century.   Many critics praised her bel canto technique, wide-ranging voice and dramatic interpretations.
