Lucia di Lammermoor
November 2017
What happens when your love is what destroys you?
Lucia's forbidden infatuation with Edgardo, sworn enemy of her brother, is her only chance for liberation... or damnation.
Witness Fulham Opera's impassioned contemporary production, in which the ghosts of the past make a frightful and unwelcome return. Donizetti's heroine defies adversity in all its forms as she endures a relentless struggle for love, survival and identity.
Michael Thrift conducts Donizetti's masterful score to director Jim Manganello and designer Anna Yates' haunting re-imagining of Walter Scott's tragic and timeless tale with Fulham Opera's sparkling cast and orchestra.
