Lucia di Lammermoor," easily Donizetti's best known opus today, was relatively unknown by the post-war audience. Though there were a few sopranos who could sing the role, the demands of the cast were such that it had fallen out of the more familiar repertory. This recording does not disappoint. Sutherland's performance is simply breathtaking. The supporting cast is more than adequate. Margreta Elkins, a fine mezzo soprano, compliments Sutherland's voice quite nicely. Sutherland went on to make two studio recordings of this opera which are arguably better.

Lucia di Lammermoor is a dramma tragico (tragic opera) in three acts by Gaetano Donizetti. Donizetti wrote Lucia di Lammermoor in 1835, a time when several factors led to the height of his reputation as a composer of opera.

Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor - the Romeo and Juliet of the Scottish Lowlands so to speak - is far from being a private tragic love story. Rather, it is above all a political tale, which shows how a totalitarian system distorts human relationships at their very core and finally consumes them. The development and extinguishing of unrequited love has provided Donizetti with his most haunting music. Revenge is bloody; madness deadly. And the agony of emotions - according to the Director - destroys everything and everyone. To List of Performances.
