Seating plan
Dramma tragico in three acts libretto by Salvatore Cammarano based on Walter Scott's novel "The Bride of Lammermoor"
Premiere November 18, 2017
In Italian with German and English surtitles
Lucia Ashton falls in love with her family's mortal enemy. Edgardo and she swear eternal loyalty to each other. However, Lucia's brother Enrico wants to marry her off to a rich heir at all costs. When Lucia finally finds herself abandoned by everyone and her beloved Edgardo insults and insults her, she murders the husband who was forced upon her on her wedding night. Deemed insanely pitied by her family, Lucia sees her act as a liberation and is finally close to happiness with her lover. “Lucia di Lammermoor”, based on the best-selling novel by Sir Walter Scott, is a pearl of bel canto written by Gaetano Donizetti in 1835 and a vocal and dramatic challenge for every singer. In Dietrich W. Hilsdorf's psychologically sharply contoured Dresden production, reduced to the essentials of human interaction, the spherical sound world of the glass harmonica opens up the sensitive inner world of an oppressed woman in the fight against the rest of the world.
Subject to change.
