Norma (1831), with a libretto by Felice Romani, Bellini's regular collaborator, is based on Alexandre Soumet's tragedy Norma ou L'Infanticide, which had been successfully performed in Paris shortly before. It is an update, in a romantic key, of certain themes from the classical tradition, such as the priestess who breaks her vows for love (Spontini's La Vestale, 1807) and infanticide as revenge (Cherubini's Medea, 1797). The setting in the world of the Druids of Gaul and the love affair of a priestess with a Roman soldier are reminiscent of an episode from Chateaubriand's Les Martyrs (1809).

The action is concentrated in the unity of time required by classical theatre, and the traditional forms of Italian melodrama are integrated into a large collective picture. The figure of Norma, of great psychological complexity, rises above all, with an unprecedented melodic beauty.
