Don't worry too much about elephants. We are looking for style here.

If Sutherland and Sills can sing Norma, then Devia certainly can.

Ma che canta a fare la Norma una come la Devia!Che scempio voce sfiatata stimbrata intubata assurda inadeguata al ruolo

[gayoperadude63]

perhaps if donr on original instruments in Bellini's tuning she could do it! It would add demension to the performance and perhaps be less bright compared to orchestras today. I'd love to here her and Ruth Ann Swenson as her Agalgisa

You are absolutly right.

It's true that this role is, in general, too heavy for the kind of voice of Devia. But, her tecnique is SO AMAZING that I think she could do it. Not like Callas, of course, but an interesting version...

Wow! Amazing! Ganassi is the best Adalgisa of the last 15 years. Devia gives a singing lesson every time she opens her mouth. The whole role of Norma is definitely beyond her reach and I hope she never tackles it on stage (I wouldn't like to hear her sing "Non, non tremare, non tremare o perfido), but these lyrical parts offer her the opportunity to flaunt her impeccable legato, breath control and perfect coloratura. Divina.
