Review: NORMA at Irish National Opera
by Adi Ajzenstadt - May 31, 2026

Irish National Opera’s new production of Bellini’s Norma at the Gaiety Theatre showcases exceptional vocal performances and a fiercely modern heroine who controls her own destiny. While the post-apocalyptic design choices miss a trick by ignoring local Celtic roots, the musical execution under Maurizio Benini ensures this classic tragedy remains deeply moving.

Review: PURITANI Is Bel Canto Bliss with Oropesa and Brownlee under Armiliato's Baton

I was glad I did--because it offered a cast with staggering singing abilities in four major roles that offered major demands, along with at least one minor one and the brilliant Met chorus under Tilman Michael. Simply put, soprano Lisette Oropesa, tenor Lawrence Brownlee, baritone Artur Rucinski and bass-baritone Christian Van Horn sang the pants off their roles, with Marco Armiliato conducting the fearless Met orchestra.
