DRAMMA TRAGICO IN TWO PARTS (AND THREE ACTS) (1835)
MUSIC BY GAETANO DONIZETTI (1797-1848)
LIBRETTO BY SALVATORE CAMMARANO AFTER WALTER SCOTT'S NOVEL "THE BRIDE OF LAMMERMOOR"
Performed in Italian
Inspired by Sir Walter Scott's novel, madness is the dominant theme in this opera, set in a ruined castle on the misty moors. With sublime mastery, Donizetti combines drama with consummate vocal writing, giving the role of Lucia a heartbreakingly delicate quality.
