About the Opera.
Premiered in 1835, Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor dramatizes Walter Scott’s tragic tale of feuding clans in Scotland.
Caught between family duty and love, Lucia is coerced into a political marriage, driving her to the opera’s famed
“mad scene,” one of bel canto’s supreme showcases for dramatic coloratura soprano.

Performance Summary.
Teatro Massimo Bellini’s new production was conducted by Leonardo Catalanotto and Emmanuel Plasson,
with stage direction by Guglielmo Ferro. Baritone Piero Terranova appeared as
Lord Enrico Ashton across the run.
