Gruberova's role debut as Norma emerged as one her most significant and compelling performances to date - this DVD is a stand-out release among her extensive filmography

Directed by Brian Large

 

 

“Gruberova delivers her own wholly individual interpretation … she translates Bellini’s interplay of pain, love and desire into physically palpable inner and outer drama. Immensely moving.” - Die Welt
