The principal part demands florid singing of a style which is but little cultivated to-day, and it is usually only on behalf of a distinguished prima donna that the work is revived. But it is by no means a worn-out back number. There is real dramatic strength \and power in the music. Norma is a drama of conflict on the highest plain of tragedy. Against a background of warring Gauls and Romans we have the struggle of great passions, of love opposed to patriotism, of pity and hate, of jealousy yielding to maternal instinct, 41. 0 NEWS FROM LONDON followed by meditation music 414.30 CLOSE DOWN
