Lucia di Lammermoor

A family feud, a political marriage, and a bride gone crazy. They are the ingredients for Gaetano Donizetti’s opera that made him spontaneously world-famous at its premiere in 1835. 191 years later, the Belgian Opera and Operetta Organisation (BOOO) brings his masterpiece back to the stage. The opera owes its reputation mainly to its incredibly challenging lead role, which has made many sopranos immortal. Especially the mad scene, which leaves no one untouched, is one of the absolute highlights of Romantic music. The renowned Scottish conductor Dario Salvi drags the orchestra and the soloists through the highs and lows of Donizetti’s masterful score, also assisted by the choir of the Belgian Opera and Operetta Organisation. Let yourself be carried away in the setting of the mystical seventeenth-century Scotland and experience the gripping story of Lucia di Lammermoor for yourself.
