Lucia Di Lammermoor, the most dramatic of all Donizetti’s operas, which is loosely based on Sir Walter Scott’s darkly brooding tragedy, returns to the London Coliseum in a revival of award-winning director David Alden’s electrifying production from 2008.

Dazzling soprano Anna Christy stars as the childlike bride in Lucia Di Lammermoor, tricked into a politically advantageous marriage by her abusive older brother, with bel canto tenor Barry Banks as the Byronic outcast with whom she falls desperately, madly, murderously, in love.

Antony Walker, Music Director of Pittsburgh Opera and the first recipient of the Sir Charles Mackerras Conducting Award, makes his Company debut in one of the most richly lyrical, yet psychologically acute operas in the entire Italian romantic repertoire.
