Lucia di Lammermoor

The opera is based on a novel by Sir Walter Scott and
set in Scotland of the 17th century.  Composed by
Gaetano Donizetti in 1835, the title role of Lucia has been
a diva favorite ever since.  Bel Canto singing was at its
height during this period and the opera provides many
opportunities for vocal and dramatic display.  Read the
Lucia di Lammermoor program for this opera performance.

Act one Scene 2, Lucia waits by the fountain to meet her lover Edgardo in secret.

Act I Scene 2 Lucia and Edgardo pledge marriage to each other.

Act II Scene 2 Lucia's brother convinces her that Edgardo has abandoned her. She must marry Arturo to save the family fortune.

Act II Scene 2 Lucia marries Arturo, realizing too late that Edgardo is still true.

Lucia is terrified by imaginary voices, visions of her murdered husband and of Edgardo's accusations.
