"A remarkable new production" - The Wall Street Journal
Weddings are stressful. Especially when the bride doesn’t want to marry the groom. Lucia’s abusive brother, Enrico, is forcing her to marry a man she doesn’t love to save their family’s failing finances. What’s worse, the man she does love is Enrico’s sworn enemy. Her only option? Murder.

Donizetti’s moody score masterfully conveys Lucia’s isolation and instability as she slips into a terrifying world of madness. Two extraordinary singers—who launched their careers at LA Opera—will take on the iconic title role: Amanda Woodbury, who’s now a star at the Metropolitan Opera, and Liv Redpath, who sang Lucia at the Deutsche Oper Berlin this year to rave reviews. Columbian native Lina González-Granados kicks off the season in her first outing as the company’s new Resident Conductor. Acclaimed Australian director Simon Stone creates a powerful new production that moves the story to a present-day world of desperation and decline.
