Based on a novel by Sir Walter Scott, Lucia di Lammermoor is the epitome of romantic opera in spite of its tragic ending. It demands incredible vocal and acting skills from the singers. The wealth of dramatic music makes it appealing to modern musical theatre audiences, as well as the most devoted opera fan.

story | Lucia is on cloud nine; Edgardo has asked her to marry him and she is thrilled at the possibility. Unbeknownst to her, though, her brother has arranged a politically tidy marriage to another man and sets out to make sure it happens, to tragic consequences.
