The stunning Lucia di Lammermoor Donizetti’s beautifully tragic masterpiece, is your Saturday at the Opera production. Listen in at 1 pm for the music of love, madness and — if this performance is new to you — a stunning example of why Donizetti belongs among the greats.
The opera’s highlight, it goes without saying, is it’s famous “Mad Scene,” in which Lucia loses her mind in a violent delusion of love. It’s a unnerving and masterful display of the human voice, one that has captivated audiences and held them rapt for almost 180 years.
