Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor is based on the motif of the historical novel of the Scottish author Sir Walter Scott. Since its premiere in Naples in 1835, the opera has been appearing in repertoire of all the major opera houses. The role of Lucia is one of the most challenging soprano coloraturas in the opera literature. In the middle of the past century, it was the Greek soprano Maria Callas who became the legendary Lucia, in the past twenty years it is for instance Edita Gruber. The Prague State Opera at the moment boasts of several great sopranos including Marina Vyskvorkina, who debuted with great success in the role of Lucia in the Vienna State Opera in 2002.
Running time: 2 hours 30 minutes with 1 intermission
