San Francisco Opera broadcasts continue on Classical 90.5 at noon this Saturday, September 12, with a performance of Norma by Vincenzo Bellini, set to a libretto by Felice Romani. The performance will be sung in Italian and will run approximately two and one-half hours. Nicola Luisotti conducts.

In Bellini’s bel canto masterpiece, a Druid high priestess betrays her people by falling in love with an occupying Roman soldier. When the soldier abandons her for another, her volatile mix of anger and guilt threatens the lives of the innocent and guilty alike.
