A milestone in the history of musical theatre, Lucia di Lammermoor was born from the encounter between the sensibility of Italian melodrama and the gothic atmosphere of Walter Scott’s novel. Director Yannis Kokkos, who originally staged this production in 2023 under the baton of Riccardo Chailly, sees the opera as a ruthless hunt in which the victim is driven toward the depths of madness—evoked by Donizetti through the ethereal sound of the glass harmonica. The revival is entrusted to Speranza Scappucci, a conductor well-versed in bel canto, who made her La Scala debut with Bellini’s I Capuleti e i Montecchi. The cast features distinguished voices: alongside the leads—Rosa Feola, Pene Pati, and Boris Pinkhasovich—is Michele Pertusi as a commanding Raimondo.

Lucia di Lammermoor

Teatro alla Scala

A milestone in the history of musical theater, born from the encounter between the sensibilities of Italian melodrama and the Gothic atmospheres of Walter Scott's novel, Lucia di Lammermoor is conceived by director Yannis Kokkos, who created this production in 2003 under the baton of Riccardo Chailly, as a merciless hunt whose victim is driven to the depths of madness, evoked by Donizetti with the diaphanous sound of the glass harmonica. The revival is entrusted to an expert conductor in bel canto, Speranza Scappucci, who made her debut at La Scala with Bellini's I Capuleti ei Montecchi .
