Diana Damrau sings the title role in Donizetti's tragic masterpiece Lucia di Lammermoor. Director Katie Mitchell compellingly draws Lucia as a strong and independent woman who fiercely fights against her brother's machinations, and Vicki Mortimer's spectacular split-screen set metes out with devastating precision the events of Walter Scott's famous story. Daniel Oren conducts a thrilling cast, the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House and the Royal Opera Chorus is on the Donizetti's most beautiful and dramatically potent operas.
