Norma (play)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Norma, or A Politician's Love (Norwegian:Norma eller En Politikers Kjærlighed) is an eight-page drama written as an opera parody by Henrik Ibsen. It is influenced by Vincenzo Bellini's opera Norma , which Ibsen saw in 1851, but the characters are contemporary politicians. The play was first printed anonymously in the satirical magazine Andhrimner in 1851.[1] The first book edition came in 1909, and the first performance of the play was at a student theatre in Trondheim 1994.
