Gaetano Donizetti: Lucia di Lammermoor
About this event
Donizetti’s “Lucia Di Lammermoor” is by no means a private love tragedy, but rather an eminently political story that demonstrates how a system of power deforms and ultimately corrodes human relationships. Donizetti provided his most haunting music for the rebellion and extinction of betrayed love; the revenge is bloody, the madness deadly.
In this new production of the Opernhaus Zürich, soprano Irina Lungusings the title role of Lucia. Piotr Beczała appears as her lover and Massimo Cavalletti as her brother. Tatjana Gürbaca, renowned for her precise direction, staged the visually powerful production under the musical direction of Speranza Scappucci.
