Royal Opera Live: Lucia Di Lammermoor

Daniel Oren conducts Katie Mitchell’s staging of Donizetti’s tragic opera, broadcast live from the Royal Opera House in London, with a libretto by Salvadore Cammarano. Lucia privately exchanges rings with her beloved Edgardo, choosing her heart’s desire rather than a marriage to a wealthy suitor, which would secure the Lammermoor fortune. When her scheming brother Enrico learns that she has pledged her heart to his sworn enemy, he tricks Lucia into believing that Edgardo has been unfaithful.
