Norma - An Opera in Rome, Italy

We had an opportunity to see an opera in Rome. The opera was held outdoors at the Terme di Caracalla, the Roman baths of Caracalla.

The Opera was Norma by Vincenzo Bellini.

Norma, wearing a blue gown, singing under the full moon with a big tree on the stage.
The backdrop is the actual walls of the baths (cannot see them here).

This one shows the circular walls that contained the baths
See how tall the walls are compared to a human
