Two men control Lucia of Lammermoor’s destiny. To further his own political ambitions, her brother Enrico demands that she marry a stranger. Edgardo, the man she secretly loves, too easily believes that she is unfaithful. Pulled apart by these opposing forces, the fragile Lucia is driven insane with violent results. Set in the craggy moors of Scotland, Gaetano Donizetti’s most famous opera will fill Chautauqua’s historic Amphitheater with melodic invention, great singing and the most famous “Mad Scene” in opera.This new production will be staged by General/Artistic Director Jay Lesenger. Joseph Colaneri (Norma - 2010, Luisa Miller - 2011) returns to conduct the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra.
