Georgetown Night at San Francisco Opera
Georgetown University and San Francisco Opera invite you to a performance of Norma on Monday, November 21 at 7:30 pm.
Bellini’s Norma is a moving drama about raging emotion and clashing cultures. The title character, Norma, must make an impossible decision between loyalty to her own people and the man she loves. Set in a beautifully lit world of sacred forests, this opera is Bellini’s best-known work and is considered the ultimate in bel canto (beautiful singing) style. Join your colleagues in experiencing this opera in the historic War Memorial Opera House. Don’t miss this special event!
Attend our free Opera Talk in the Orchestra section of the War Memorial Opera House 55 minutes before the performance. San Francisco Symphony’s Education Director Ron Gallman will enhance your experience by providing the musical background, historical context and a discussion of relevant issues surrounding the opera. Then enjoy the first act of Norma. During intermission, meet and mingle with fellow Georgetown alumni at the Dress Circle Bar in the War Memorial Opera House. Enjoy a complimentary beverage (select from champagne, wine or soft drinks), courtesy of San Francisco Opera.
You can find more information about Norma, including advance program notes and audio clips on San Francisco Opera’s web site, sfopera.com.
