On the day of the open-air performance of Vincenzo Bellini\u2019s opera \u2018Norma\u2019 in 1974, a severe storm is blowing through the city of Orange in southern France. The much-anticipated event may have to be called off at the last moment. All the while, in the spectacular Roman amphitheatre, nine thousand spectators await Montserrat Caball\u00e9 in the title role of Norma. In the face of these adverse conditions, the singer and musicians nevertheless decide to perform. It will be a legendary evening of music.<\/p>\n
For this film, Montserrat Caball\u00e9\u2019s brother, Carlos Caball\u00e9, has given the first interview since the death of his sister in October 2018. Carlos had accompanied her throughout her life and was also in attendance for the rehearsals and performances in Orange in 1974. Soprano Sonia Yoncheva and Olga Peretyatko tell of their admiration for \u201cLa Superba\u201d, as Caball\u00e9 was known to her fans. And just a few short years after this performance, Maria Callas would describe Caball\u00e9 her as her true successor \u2013 high praise indeed.<\/p>\n
