The Seton Hall Classical Concert Series and Alberto Italian Studies Institute presented Vincenzo Bellini’s “Norma” at the South Orange Performing Arts Center (SOPAC) on Nov. 11. The production featured professional opera singers alongside the university’s chorus and the MidAtlantic Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Prof. Jason Tramm.
Celebrating its 13th year, this collaboration gives students the opportunity to perform a classic opera alongside professionals. “Norma” starred Amy Shoremount-Obra in the titular role, alongside Laura Zahn as Adalgisa, Nathan Schafer as Pollione and Henry Kim as Oroveso. Two SHU students also had solo singing roles: Andromeda Tong portrayed Clotilde, Norma’s confidante, and Douglas Vail portrayed Flavio, Pollione’s confidant.
