This story of star-crossed lovers and feuding families is one of the greatest of operatic tragedies. In this Scottish version of the Romeo and Juliet story, Lucia and Edgardo find that plighted love is no shield against the blows of fate. Told through the music of Donizetti's masterpiece, inspired by Sir Walter Scott's powerful tale, and filled with gripping arias and ensembles, the opera tellingly explores the challenges that life and convention bring to two innocent young lovers.
