Gaetano Donizetti; Lucia Di Lammermoor

Start Date: 11/20/2009
End Date: 11/22/2009

Gaetano Donizetti Lucia Di Lammermoor November 20, 2009- November 22, 2009 Carol Morsani Hall Price: TBA ABOUT THE SHOW At a glance A feud between two Scottish families of Ravenswood and Lammermoor results in double crossing deals and fragile Lucia's blood soaked madness. Language Sung in Italian with English translations above the stage. The Scene Ravenswood Castle, Scotland About the opera One of the greatest tragedies in the opera repertoire, Lucia Di Lammermoor has become the showpiece for coloratura sopranos. Maria Callas and Joan Sutherland revived the opera in all of its glory in the 1950s and it has since become a favorite with opera audiences. Technically challenging, deeply moving and visually dramatic, Donizetti's music brings melody and madness in this masterpiece. In the story, the greed and rivalry between the Ravenswoods and the Lammermoors result in the forced marriage of the innocent heroine Lucia to the important Arturo. Lucia must renounce Edgardo, her true love which drives her to madness and murder. Lucia Di Lammermoor features an international cast, as well as the Opera Tampa Orchestra and Chorus.
