Lucia di Lammermoor

Generally considered the archetype of Italian Romantic opera, this is Donizetti’s masterpiece. Based on a novel by Sir Walter Scott, the story of love, jealousy, and madness is brought to life in this fully-staged production by the internationally acclaimed Opera Verdi Europa. With 40 piece orchestra. In Italian with English supertitles. “The third act offers one of the great ‘mad scenes’ of opera … a coloratura aria which includes an unparalleled interplay of voice and flute, a tour de force of singing drama.” Arthur Lazere, culturevulture.net Made possible in part through the support of the Benjamin R.
