English.Norma is a two-act lyric tragedy by Vincenzo Bellini (1801-1835). A leading example of the bel canto genre, the opera premiered at La Scala in Milan on December 26th, 1831. The story tells of a love triangle between Norma, the High priestess of the druids, her Roman lover, and a younger priestess for whom the Roman has fallen. This excerpt occurs in the first scene of Act II. After rejecting killing her two sons with the Roman Pollione as a solution, she instead chooses to entrust her children to the young priestess Adalgisa and Pollione so that they may live in the duet, Deh! con te, con te li prendi / Please, take them with you. Adalgisa agrees but tells Norma that she intends to persuade Pollione to return to the mother of his children in another duet, Mira, o Norma / Look, o Norma. This excerpt is transposed from the original key of F to E flat. A score has not been created for the E flat version, so none is included, but the score in the key of F is available separately from the publisher as A419501.
