This grand dramatic masterpiece of intrigue, deception and madness is set on the land between Edinburgh and the North Sea.That such a violent, tragic story is told with so fine an example of bel canto singing attests to the genius of Donizetti. Drawing from the romantic folklore and mythology of the original novel by Sir Walter Scott, Lucia di Lammermoor is the pawn in a political feud. In love with the penniless Edgardo di Ravenswood, she is driven to madness by her scheming brother Lord Enrico Ashton and his dynastic match for her, Lord Arturo Bucklaw. Be swept away by the wave of emotion that is Lucia di Lammermoor.
