Stefan Pop - Donizetti: Lucia Di Lammermoor

Lucia di Lammermoor is one of the most iconic works of the bel canto repertoire, showcasing Gaetano Donizetti's masterful blend of lyrical beauty and dramatic intensity. Based on Walter Scott's novel The Bride of Lammermoor, the opera tells a haunting tale of love, political rivalry, and psychological collapse. At it's heart lies the tragic heroine Lucia (Lisette Oropesa), caught between familial duty and a forbidden love, whose descent into madness culminates in one of the most famous and demanding scenes in all of opera-the legendary 'mad scene'. What sets Lucia di Lammermoor apart is it's emotional depth paired with extraordinary vocal virtuosity. The opera demands immense technical precision, agility, and stamina from it's singers. Lucia's role, in particular, is a tour de force for any soprano, requiring crystalline coloratura, seamless legato, and the ability to convey both fragility and inner turmoil.
