Norma

In celebration of the centenary of Maria Callas' birth, the renowned opera "Norma" by Vincenzo Bellini, a favorite of the legendary Greek soprano, takes the stage at the Herod Atticus Theater, at the foot of the Acropolis in Athens.

Turkish soprano Simge Büyükedes and mezzo-soprano Asude Karayavuz won acclaim on Nov. 10 for their performances in the Aida and Norma operas at the Teatro Comunale Alighieri in Ravenna, Italy. 

The Greek National Opera presents a new and ambitious production of Vincenzo Bellini's "Norma" at the Herod Atticus Theater, for which it teamed up with director Carlus Padrissa and the acclaimed Catalan theater group La Fura dels Baus.
