In Bellini's Norma, the priestess Norma calls for peace against Roman occupiers, while internally battling her broken vows as a secret lover and mother. Her lover, Pollione, and the novice Adalgisa mirror her double life. Amidst war and Roman dominance, secrets escalate into a drama of life, death, and love. Bellini's 1831 bel canto opera showcases these conflicts through dramatic choruses, rituals, and exceptional vocal performances, exploring themes of war and peace, love and duty.
»That was my first work played by an orchestra and my first contact with a large audience. I was 22 years old at the time,« reports Olivier Messiaen. Les offrandes oubliées (The Forgotten Offerings) was composed in 1930 and premiered on 19 February 1931 at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées by the Orchestre des concerts Straram under the direction of its chief and namesake Walther Straram. The »symphonic meditation« (the subtitle) is based on linguistically tangible yet abstract ideas. The texts were written by Messiaen himself. The themes of the three verses (Cross – Sin – Eucharist) can be understood as situations of contemplation, descent and rapture and form the three sections of the work.
