“Set in the misty moors of Scotland, this tragic Bel Canto masterpiece, with its ravishing melodies and vocal thrills, is Gaetano Donizetti’s crowning achievement.  A tale of feuding clans, a forced marriage, political maneuvering, secret love, jealousy… and madness!  It boasts some of the most stunning music in all of opera.

The emotionally fragile Lucia is driven to madness when she is manipulated by her brother into marrying a man she does not love to save her family’s estate and possibly their lives.

Featuring the most famous mad scene in the operatic repertory, this timeless masterpiece evokes the passion and desperation of a woman used as a political pawn.
