	Lucia di Lammermoor - Gaetano Donizetti
		Lucia di Lammermoor is often cited as his masterpiece, a work with a reasonably cogent plot line and nary a moment that isn't full of ravishingly beautiful melody, both solo and ensemble.
		The story has young Lucia in love with Edgardo - secretly, since Edgardo's family and Lucia's are on opposing sides of a long feud.
		Lucia's brother, Enrico, wants to marry her off for political and economic gain.

	AZOpera Lucia Di Lammermoor Synopsis

		Lucia tells Alisa of the maiden's ghost that haunts the fountain and once appeared to warn her of a tragic ending to her secret affair ("Regnava nel silenzio").

		Lucia is frightened at the sight of a nearby fountain, where a young woman was murdered by a Ravenswood because she was unfaithful to him.
		When Lucia insists that their love must remain a secret, Edgardo becomes furious; he cannot believe that it was not enough for Enrico to kill Edgardo's father and take his lands ("Sulla tomba che rinserra").
		Lucia, believing that Enrico is Edgardo, swears that she signed the contract because her brother forced her to and that she always loved him.

	Metroactive Stage \| Lucia di Lammermoor
		In Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor, the title character succumbs to the pressures of both extremes in so preposterous and revolting a manner that the opera's renown centers as much upon Lucia's "mad scene" as it does on the memorable tunes the composer showers upon us.
		Lucia murders Arturo before the party ends and then serenades the guests in her blood-drenched nightgown, knife in hand.
		As Lucia becomes increasingly unglued, however, Divis became divided by the role's widening dramatic and technical ranges, the latter of which she accounted for quite impressively.

		From the heights of Edgardo and Lucia’s hidden love, to the tragic beauty of Lucia’s renowned scene depicting her descent into madness, as the curtain falls you can only hope the lovers found in death what was taken from them in life.
		Lucia di Lammermoor is one of the crowning glories of bel canto opera, and Gaetano Donizetti poured a wealth of musical and dramatic creativity into it.
		Lucia’s tragedy is very much his own, as he realizes too late what happened to his family while he was concerned with ancient vendettas and political intrigues.

	Lucia di Lammermoor
		Lucia di Lammermoor by Gaetano Donizetti is an adaptation of The Bride of Lammermoor, a novel based on a true story in Scotland, which was written by the British novelist and poet Sir Walter Scott.
		Lucia is also considered to be the greatest masterpiece by the Italian composer and that of bel canto opera.
		Lucia is also full of scenes that are worthy of note, including the sextet at the wedding ceremony and the aria Tu che a Dio spiegasti l'ali (Thou hast spread thy wings to heaven) sung by Edgardo just before the fall of the curtain.

	Lucia Di Lammermoor
		Lucia Di Lammermoor was composed by Gaetano Donizetti in 1835 sometime and premiered on 9/26/1835 in the Teatro San Carlo (San Carlo Theater) in Naples.
		The topic of Lucia's unwillingness to marry Arturo comes up, and Normanno recalls to Enrico when Lucia was saved from an enraged bull by a stranger...and now they meet every morning in the park.
		Lucia tells a scary story (I guess) about the fountain, and Alisa tells Lucia she thinks it may not be a good idea to pursue a relationship with they guy she is meeting there (Edgardo).

	Lucia di Lammermoor
		Lucia di Lammermoor, the most famous and popular of Donizetti's operas, was first performed on September 26, 1835, at the Teatro San Carlo in Naples.
		Lucia Ashton and her family's enemy Edgardo di Ravenswood have fallen in love with each other.
		I did notregret the absence of the vocal acrobatics usually encountered in a performance of "Lucia." With the keys and the cadenzas employed, it was especially apparent that Donizetti was a near contemporary of Rossini, and that the opera is a serious dramatic work, not a silly coloratura show.

	Notes about Lucia di Lammermoor at Cutler Majestic Theatre at Emerson College, Boston, MA
		The hero and heroine of the opera are Edgardo of Ravenswood and Lucia Ashton, whose families are mortal enemies.
		In practice, this meant that from childhood on, millions of girls were forced to show respect and abject humility to all adults, speak with low voices, and be “as meek as lambs.” From birth to death, they lived without ever taking a single breath of freedom.
		Enrico, Lucia’s brother, is desperate to see her married to Lord Bucklaw, and when she resists, he lies to her and shows her forged letters proving that Edgardo is in love with someone else.

		A chorus of mourners from the castle reports that Lucia has lost her mind, and is close to death.

	OPERA REVIEW: A Fresh View By Michael Zwiebach (West Bay Opera, Harold Gray Meers, Saundra De Athos, February 19, 2005)
		Lucia is emotionally susceptible, "romantic," while the boys are martial and ardent, almost as if they belonged in an early Verdi opera.
		Nevertheless, he tries to be gentle with Lucia, even as he hands her a forged letter from her lover.
		Lucia is still the mainstay of the opera, however, and the soprano playing the part is the one singer who is conventionally allowed some freedom from the written music.

		Maria Callas is more dramatic, and her Lucia is a must for Callas fans, but this set is a joyful celebration of the glory of the human voice.
		Even though the mad scene begins with violence (off stage she stabs her husband 37 times and in the book is found in the fireplace playing with a ribbon), by the time Lucia is before her guests she is no longer violent, but a weak, delicate creature totally overwhelmed by the heaviness of life.
		When Lucia enters in the Mad Scene, her voice seems to come from a distance, as though overheard: an eerie effect indeed.

	Mad for Lucia
		In staging this Lucia, based on Sir Walter Scott's "The Bride of Lammermoor," stage director David Sloss promised a Scottish setting far from the brooding moors of tradition, and in the execution, set designer Peter Crompton has exceeded all expectations.
		The story of Lucia di Lammermoor owes a lot to Romeo and Juliet, comprising, as it does, two feuding families and two star-crossed lovers.
		Lucia's mad scene, though, was a little too tame, and Edgardo's final scene with the huntsmen and the chaplain Raimondo (Roger D. McCracken) was downright flat.

		In contratst to Maria Callas, who portrayed a dark, ominous side to Lucia, Sutherland's performanc is replete with coloratura trills and flutters.
		And this is the last set of Lucia that the diva sang before she started to steadily decline over the next 14 years before her retirement.
		Later, as in the 1983 Met Lucia, when Sutherland was about 57, she actually transposed the first part of the mad scene a tone down, the very mad scene that she sang on regular key for 25 years!

	Review: 'Bel canto' lives large in West Bay's stunning 'Lucia' (February 23, 2005)
		The lead roles of ill-fated lovers Lucia and Edgardo are sung in alternating performances by Marnie Breckenridge and Christopher Bengochea, and Saundra DeAthos and Harold Gray Meers.
		But the most egregious and frustrating example of rushing was in the last scene, from the time Edgardo was told of Lucia's imminent death to his death at his own hand.
		Two lovers furtively meeting at the fountain, or a heartbroken man dying for love, should be allowed their lingering notes and pauses.
