Description
Opera San Jose begins its 33rd season with Gaetano Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor. Donizetti drew inspiration for this opera from Sir Walter Scott's The Bride of Lammermoor. The story revolves around a feud between two families, the Ashtons and the Ravenswoods. Lucia Ashton loves Edgar, master of Ravenswood, whose land her family has taken by force. When Lucia's brother, out of political necessity, forces her into an arranged marriage, there are dire consequences. Donizetti expertly combines the epic story of Lucia with some of the most wonderful melodies from his pen and the most affecting mad scene in theatre.Lucia di Lammermoor will be sung in Italian with English supertitles. Six performances are scheduled from September 10 - 25, 2016 at the California Theatre, 345 South First Street in downtown San Jose. Performances are supported, in part, by a grant from the San Jose Office of Cultural Affairs.
