By Francisco Salazar

The Metropolitan Opera is set to revive Bellini’s “Norma” with Sonya Yoncheva.

Yoncheva will make her Met role debut after performing the role at the Royal Opera House, the Gran Teatre del Liceu, and the Bayerische Staatsoper. The cast will also include mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova as Adalgisa, tenor Michael Spyres as Pollione, and bass-baritone Christian Van Horn as Oroveso.

Maurizio Benini conducts David McVicar’s production, which opened the Metropolitan Opera’s 2017-18 season.

Performances of “Norma” will be broadcast on Feb. 28, March 8, and March 25 performances on Metropolitan Opera Radio on SiriusXM Channel 355. The March 25 performance will also be broadcast over the Toll Brothers–Metropolitan Opera International Radio Network.

“Norma” will be presented from Feb. 28 through March 25, 2023.
