Barbra Streisand & Neil Diamond - You Don't Bring Me Flowers

You Don't Bring Me Flowers
Barbra Streisand & Neil Diamond
- written by Neil Diamond, Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman

You don't bring me flowers
You don't sing me love songs
You hardly talk to me anymore
When you come through the door
At the end of the day

I remember when
You couldn't wait to love me
Used to hate to leave me
Now after lovin' me late at night
When it's good for you
And you're feeling alright
Well you just roll over
And you turn out the light
And you don't bring me flowers anymore

It used to be so natural
To talk about forever
But 'used to be's' don't count anymore
They just lay on the floor
'Til we sweep them away

And baby, I remember
All the things you taught me
I learned how to laugh
And I learned how to cry
Well I learned how to love
Even learned how to lie
You'd think I could learn
How to tell you goodbye
'Cause you don't bring me flowers anymore

Norma

The Teatro Argentino de La Plata
http://www.teatroargentino.ic.gba.gov.ar/
is representing the Norma Opera .

Norma is an opera written by Vincenzo Bellini (music) and Felice Romani (libretto), and it was first produced in the year 1831. This composition is considered one of the most important examples of the bel canto tradition. From the musical point of view, the role of Norma in the opera is one of the most difficult in the soprano repertoireVincenzo Bellini was the least prolific of the bel canto composers (including also Rossini and Donizetti), having produced only ten operas, but he was generally considered the most sensitive of the three composers, particularly with regard to his approach to the poetry presented to him by his librettists. Norma is considered his most important work.

Synopsis: Act I. The grove. A secret love unites the seeress Norma with Pollione, the Roman proconsul, by whom she has borne two children. But Pollione has grown tired of the aging druid priestess and has fallen in love with Adalgisa, a young temple virgin. Despite Adalgisa's piety and virtue, she agrees to flee to Rome with Pollione. Adalgisa innocently tells Norma of her love, and Norma curses Pollione for his treachery.


Act II. Norma's apartment. She is about to kill her children, but through maternal pity finally confides them to the care of Adalgisa. When Pollione comes to take Adalgisa from the temple, Norma denounces him and he is seized by the Druids, after having refused to give up Adalgisa. Norma proclaims herself equally guilty with him. The funeral pyre is lighted, and ascending it, Norma dies with her lover.


The most famous singer that played Norma´s role in the 20th Century was Maria Callas (she performed it 89 times and made official recordings in 1954 and 1960), performance by which she became a celebrity worldwide. Bellow there is an extract of his performance:
