Teatro Lirico D'Europa: Lucia Di Lammermoor February 8, 2011

The heart of the opera - the tale of poor Lucia, forced into marriage and forced to abandon her true love, Edgardo - is the third act mad scene, one of the touchstones of the operatic repertoire and perhaps the greatest coloratura showpiece in the repertoire. In the mad scene, Lucia appears in her bloodstained nightgown before the guests who have attended her forced marriage, having used a few dagger thrusts in the wedding chamber to lose both her new husband and her sanity. This production will feature a full 60-piece pit orchestra, elegant scenery, costumes and voices and is sung in German with English supertitles.
