"…Scotto's Druid priestess grows in stature to give us an unbearably moving scene in which she contemplates the murder of her children and, best of all, the duets with the rival priestess of Tatiana Troyanos, who offers the most sheerly beautiful legato singing of the set in 'Mira, o Norma'." BBC Music Magazine, October 2009 ****
Bellini's opera initially received a rather cool reception but went on to achieve the reputation it has today as one of the most challenging and demanding roles in the repertory, and represents a pinnacle of vocal and dramatic achievement for those divas who take on the role.
