Lucia di Lammermoor at Lyric Opera

Chicago Stage Review - Highly Recommended

"...Lyric Opera’s current production of Lucia di Lammermoor is a great example of how to successfully reinterpret a classic. Long a favorite of bel canto opera fans, it is loosely based on a tragic melodrama by quintessential Scottish romantic author Sir Walter Scott. A tale of warring clans who use the beautiful Lucia as political tender, it reveals her forbidden love with a family rival, eventually dooming her to murder, madness and death."

Chicago Theater Beat - Highly Recommended

"...On the road to this phenomenal production, there are obstacles. Wacker Street construction surrounds it like a moat protecting a fortress. Lucia di Lammermoor is a damsel worthy of enduring the demolition war zone. Just give yourself plenty of time, The Lyric Opera curtain rises on time. The show must go on!"
