Experience the timeless tragedy and beauty of "Lucia: The Bride of Lammermoor" at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center's Andrew Jackson Hall. This captivating performance, directed by John Hoomes and conducted by Dean Williamson, features the Nashville Opera Orchestra. Presented in English with projected English lyrics, this opera is a masterpiece of romantic Italian opera, showcasing the exquisite bel canto style of singing.

Set against the haunting backdrop of the Scottish moors, "Lucia: The Bride of Lammermoor" tells the harrowing tale of Lucia, a young woman caught in a web of familial manipulation, forced into a loveless marriage, and driven to the edge of sanity. With a score by Gaetano Donizetti and a libretto by Salvatore Cammarano, the opera is based on Sir Walter Scott's renowned novel. Since its premiere in Naples at the Teatro San Carlo on September 26, 1835, it has been celebrated for its passionate music, intense drama, and the unforgettable Mad Scene.

Performances are scheduled from April 3 to 5, 2025, starting at $30. Tickets go on sale on May 21, 2024, at 9:30 AM.
