There are many destined to succumb. They allow the deceit and machinations of similarities: two young people fall in love despite family grudges, others to call into question their fidelity… a darkness that saps the families of both young women arrange a wedding for political away the color of their love. It is the loss of faith in Lucia that purposes, the brothers in both stories plan to stoke the fires of destroys Edgardo, and it is his rejection of her that drives Lucia to discord between the families and ultimately each challenge the insanity. Both die, not together in a tomb, a kiss upon warm lips, love interest to a duel, the lovers die - destroyed by the myopia of but alone and without any solace… one of raging madness and those around them. It makes for interesting opera in both cases… the other by his own hand among the tombs of his ancestors. but I believe, in some ways, the lovers’ tale of Lucia di Lammermoor is more tragic. Both Lucia and Edgardo believe the other has been If there is hope to be found it is in the final chorus, a prayer that unfaithful, trickery visited upon them by Enrico.

There is no moment for them alone to celebrate their love, not even a fleeting one. Once they commit to each other, he is off to France at the behest of Scotland, and they will never share another kind word.
Set against the backdrop of the stormy years of civil war between Scotland and England, we realize from the very beginning that there is very little hope for our lovers. There are greater forces at work… Enrico, Lucia’s brother is trying to save his family from financial ruin and is rapidly forming political allegiances through any means, including the gift of his sister’s hand to interested parties. Lucia is pawn to his game of political chess. Once Enrico discovers that his sister has fallen for his sworn enemy, he is even more determined to keep the lovers apart. It never occurs to him that Lucia will be crushed by his actions… she is simply a means to an end. It is only as he witnesses her self-destruction, that he is capable of a hint of remorse.

A classic love story told in a more intimate way… A magnificent story of love told against the backdrop of war and slavery. This retelling of the AIDA story holds the chorus in a fixed place, without Egyptian costumes, to focus on the core of the work as an intimate and tragic story of star-crossed lovers. They become a Greek chorus: witnesses to the tragic love of Aida for Radames, and the seething jealousy of the princess Amneris. The passion of the work transcends the borders of time, class and society. '%&'HZVhdc * See page 13 for details.
