Lucia, the Bride of Lammermoor

April 5, 2025 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

$30

Directed by John Hoomes
Conducted by Dean Williamson
Featuring the Nashville Opera Orchestra
Sung in Italian with projected English lyrics

Score by Gaetano Donizetti
Libretto by Salvatore Cammarano
(Based on the book The Bride of Lammermoor by Sir Walter Scott)
Premiere: Naples, Teatro San Carlo, September 26, 1835

Deep in the Scottish moors, trouble brews. Lucia is in love with Edgardo, but is forced into a loveless, arranged marriage to another man by her possessive, controlling brother. Driven to the brink of madness and despair, Lucia takes matters into her own hands, with horrific results.

Considered one of the greatest romantic, Italian operas ever written (based on Sir Walter Scott’s famous novel), Lucia is classic bel canto (beautiful singing) opera featuring passionate music, intense drama, the world famous sextet in Act II, and the show stopping Mad Scene!
