Lucia di Lammermoor
Based on an epic 19th century Scottish romance by Sir Walter Scott and containing several of the most thrilling moments in all of opera, propels us into a world where women are reluctant pawns in a dynastic quest for powerful family alliances. Tricked by her brother into giving up the man she loves, Lucia submits to his choice of a husband, with tragic consequences for all. Featuring the eagerly anticipated American debut of Italian baritone Luca Grassi and a host of major international stars – including Romanian soprano Elena Mosuc in the title role – making their first appearance on the Dallas Opera stage. Donizetti’s 1835 masterpiece thunders, swoons, transfixes and haunts. But be forewarned: it never, ever lets up! What choice would you make when the only chance for freedom lies in… madness?
