Dinner and a Diva: Lucia di Lammermoor

From the venue:

Join Capitol City Opera Company on October 15 at 7:00 pm at Petite Violette for a night of delicious food and performances from Gaetano Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor. “Set in nineteenth-century Scotland, Lucia di Lammermoor tells the emotional tale of Lucia, a woman who is constantly manipulated by the men in her life. When she gets caught up in a family feud by falling in love with their sworn enemy, Lucia is pushed to her limit and finally decides to take control of her situation, with tragic consequences for the life of her new husband and her sanity. The opera is perhaps most famous for the third act’s ‘mad scene’, in which Lucia descends into insanity.”
