Where to Watch Lucia Di Lammermoor - Gran Teatro del Liceu de Barcelona (2021)

Summary

This project is undoubtedly Gaetano Donizetti's best known work, even if its production was prolific. It has also been the most performed and staged since its premiere in 1835 at the San Carlo Theater in Naples. It is one of the beacons of Italian Bel Canto and also one of the most typically romantic Italian operas. In 16th century Scotland, torn by the wars of religion and succession between the Catholics of Mary Stuart and the reformist Protestants of James VI, two families, the Ravenswoods and the Ashtons, quarrel. In the middle is an impossible love between Lucia, Ashton's daughter, and Edgardo, Ravenswood's son and nemesis of Enrico, Lucia's brother. It is performed at the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona in an original staging by Damiano Michieletto.
