LONDON COLISEUM

St Martins Lane, London, WC2N 4ES

LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR

The most dramatic of all Donizetti's operas - loosely based on Sir Walter Scott's darkly brooding tragedy - returns to ENO in a revival of award-winning director David Alden's electrifying production from 2008.

Dazzling soprano Anna Christy stars as the childlike bride, tricked into a politically advantageous marriage by her abusive older brother, with bel canto tenor Barry Banks as the Byronic outcast with whom she falls desperately, madly, murderously, in love.

Antony Walker, Music Director of Pittsburgh Opera and the first recipient of the Sir Charles Mackerras Conducting Award, makes his Company debut in one of the most richly lyrical, yet psychologically acute operas in the entire Italian romantic repertoire.

8 performances.

Running time: 2hrs 40mins
