opera.cfmOpera Preview: Lucia Di Lammermoor
by Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1848)

Presented by Norm Hollingshead.

Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1848) amazingly composed 73 operas in 27 years.  A half dozen or so of this great output are still performed today.  Of these Lucia di Lammermoor  is by far Donizetti's "Greatest Hit"! Lucia  has everything a romantic "bel canto" opera needs:  a tragic story of young love torn apart by a family feud; gorgeous music, especially for the soprano and tenor including Lucia's incredible "Mad Scene" and the amazing "Sextette from Lucia;" most importantly, opportunity after opportunity for singing of such beauty it will break your heart. Lucia has been a favored vehicle for coloratura sopranos for 175 years. In this lecture Mr. Hollingshead will illustrate his commentary with recorded musical excerpts from his own collection of recordings, many quite rare.Read more
