Midland Opera's NORMA October 2017
"Inside The Old Rep Theatre there was warmth and magic as the bars of the overture faded and the curtain rose on a brand new production of Bellini’s Bel-Canto masterpiece ‘Norma’, performed by Midland Opera"
"This was a very special night at the theatre."
NORMA EXCEEDED ALL EXPECTATIONS
Once again Sarah Helsby Hughes has delivered in style. Her skilfully crafted production captivated audiences and proved fulfilling for the company. We are so fortunate in benefitting from Sarah's leadership and that of our Musical Director James Longstaffe.
Members of the company worked hard to build the set and produce costumes and were thrilled to see the opera come to life with the magnificent and moving singing and acting of our soloists, including Sarah herself, wonderful in the title role. Please see a review
here for a flavour of the show.
