By GAETANO DONIZETTI
Libretto by SALVADORE CAMMARANO

In the mist-covered Scottish Highlands, passion blooms in the shadow of hatred. Lucia Ashton, delicate and deeply emotional, is secretly in love with Edgardo, the last heir of a rival family. Their love is pure, urgent, and doomed from the start.

When Lucia’s ruthless brother Enrico discovers the affair, he forces her into a political marriage to save the family’s crumbling power. Manipulated into believing Edgardo has betrayed her, Lucia signs the marriage contract — but her spirit cannot survive the lie. On her wedding night, reality fractures. In opera’s most haunting and ethereal mad scene, Lucia drifts into a dreamlike world where love and death merge. Blood has been spilled, time has stopped, and the fragile girl we once knew now walks between worlds.

Too late, Edgardo learns the truth. Overcome with grief, he chooses death to reunite with Lucia, sealing one of the most heartbreaking love stories ever set to music.

In Italian, with English and Spanish projected translations
