Norma

About the show

Norma, a Druid high priestess in Roman-occupied Gaul, has secretly borne two children by Pollione, the Roman proconsul. She discovers that he has fallen in love with the young priestess Adalgisa. Norma tries to persuade him to return, but later confesses her own broken vows and is condemned to die at the stake. Moved by her sacrifice, Pollione joins her on the pyre.
