This fall, the New Jersey Association of Verismo Opera opens with Norma on Sunday, October 28, 2018 at 3:00 p.m. The company presents Vincenzo Bellini's tragedia lirica opera set in ancient Rome at the Bergen Performing Arts Center, located at 30 North Van Brunt Street, in Englewood, New Jersey.

Verismo Opera announces the artists performing in this dramatic production. Soprano Jessica Sandidge debuts with the company as the druid high priestess Norma. Sandidge joined the Metropolitan Opera in the 2016/2017 season performing the role of Jano(c) in Janácek's Jenufa, and returns for her third season as Dawn(c) in the American premiere of Marnie this fall. Of her recent New York City Opera debut in Gaetano Donizetti's Il Pigmalione, The New York Times wrote: "Jessica Sandidge's belated entrance as Galatea came as something of a relief, all the more so for the loveliness of her singing."
