Lucia di Lammermoor

Tickets for Lucia di Lammermoor at Teatro alla Scala in Milan 2023

Lucia di Lammermoor is a tragic opera in three acts by Italian composer Gaetano Donizetti. Salvadore Cammarano wrote roughly Italian lyrics based on Sir Walter Scott’s 1819 historical novel The Bride of Lammermoor.

Donizetti wrote Lucia di Lammermoor in 1835, when he was at the height of his reputation as an opera composer. Gioachino Rossini recently retired, and Vincenzo Bellini died shortly before the premiere of “Lucia,” leaving Donizetti “the only opera in Italy.” the ruling genius”. Not only was the conditions ripe for Donizetti’s success as a composer, but there was also widespread interest in Scottish history and culture. Its fierce wars and feuds, as well as the romanticism embodied in folklore and mythology, captivated readers and audiences in the 19th century. Sir Walter Scott dramatized these elements in his novel “The Bride of Lamermore”, inspiring several musical compositions including Lucia.
