11. Bellini: Norma – Casta Diva (6.32)
Norma, a lyrical tragedy in two acts, premiered at La Scala on December 26, 1831.

The scene is part of a notably contemporary rendition of Norma courtesy of the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra and Chorus De Nederlandse Opera under the supervision of Julian Reynolds.
12. Balanchine: Jewels – Emeralds – Final (Faure) (3.52)
Three different ballets are effectively merged into one in legendary choreographer George Balanchine’s (1904-1988) Jewels. The first one, a scene of which is offered on this disc, is titled simply Emeralds. It boasts music by French composer Gabriel Faurre’s “Pelleas and Melisande”. This is an effective piece where imagination and elegance are mixed to perfection. Green is the prevalent color here and it appears as part of the stage decors as well as the dancer’s costumes courtesy of top-designer Christian Lacroix.
