Lucia di Lammermoor

OPERA San Antonio returns to live performances at the Tobin Center on May 6th and 8th, 2021, with Gaetano Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor. The production features Metropolitan Opera star Brenda Rae in the title role, Scott Hendricks as Enrico, and Scott Quinn as Edgardo.

Lucia di Lammermoor is the story of a young and innocent woman crushed between two selfish and willful men – a brother who wants her as a pawn to fulfill his dreams of restoring his family’s power and a lover who cannot see past his own pride. Between them they drive her to madness and a frightening conclusion. The opera contains one of the most famous scenes in opera – Lucia’s mad scene.

Performed in Italian with projected English translations. At every OPERA San Antonio performance, the English text will be displayed above the stage so that you may fully enjoy all of the passion, humor, and drama of our world-class productions!
