INFORMATION ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE

Lucia di Lammermoor, the emblematic masterpiece of romantic bel canto, is based on one of the most popular 19th-century novels, Sir Walter Scott's The Bride of Lammermoor. The opera’s premiere at the Teatro San Carlo in Naples in 1835 achieved such enormous success that Lucia rightfully became recognised as the work that brought out Donizetti’s talent, despite the fact that he had already composed several notable pieces, including L’ elisir d’ amore, Lucrezia Borgia, and Anna Bolena among others.

The story is about Lucia’s love for Edgardo of the house of Ravenswood, a man strongly hated by her brother, Enrico Ashton. Determined to end their relationship, Enrico arranges for his sister to marry Arturo Bucklaw. During the wedding ceremony, Edgardo arrives in a furious state and starts cursing Lucia. She loses her mind, kills Arturo, and collapses. Hearing that his beloved has died, Edgardo kills himself.
