Lucia of Lammermoor

Approved

Vocal pyrotechnics, powerful emotions, political Machiavellianism and family betrayals, all the ingredients were there to make Lucia di Lammermoor a dazzling success. Donizetti reaches the peak of his art here.

In great political and financial difficulty, Enrico sees only one way out to save his family from the announced ruin: to make the rich and powerful Lord Arturo accept that he takes his sister Lucia as his wife. But Lucia is already secretly in love with another man, to whom she has sworn loyalty. Torn between her family duties and her love oath, she will sink into madness – murderous madness! Although he was no longer an unknown in 1835, it was indeed with Lucia di Lammermoor that Donizetti definitively established himself as one of the greatest geniuses of his generation. Walter Scott offers him with his historical novel (1819) an ideal framework to highlight the emotions and affects here at work. Hyper romantic in his feelings, belcantist as hell,

English

Pyrotechnie vocale, puissance des émotions, machiavélisme politique et trahisons familiales, tous les ingrédients étaient réunis pour faire de Lucia di Lammermoor un succès fulgurant. Donizetti atteint ici au sommet de son art.

En grande difficulté politique et financière, Enrico ne voit qu’une issue pour sauver sa famille de la ruine annoncée : faire accepter au riche et puissant Lord Arturo qu’il prenne sa soeur Lucia pour épouse. Mais Lucia est déjà secrètement éprise d’un autre homme, à qui elle a juré fidélité. Déchirée entre ses devoirs familiaux et son serment amoureux, elle sombrera dans la folie – une folie meurtrière ! S’il n’est déjà plus un inconnu en 1835, c’est bel et bien avec Lucia di Lammermoor que Donizetti s’impose définitivement comme l’un des plus grands génies de sa génération. Walter Scott lui offre avec son roman historique (1819) un cadre idéal pour mettre en valeur les émotions et les affects ici à l’oeuvre. Hyper romantique dans ses sentiments, belcantiste en diable, Lucia di Lammermoor est un absolu chef-d’oeuvre ici présenté avec une distribution d’exception, dans la vision si juste et humaine de Stefano Vizioli.
