Metropolitan Opera – Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor. April 11, 2018.
[…] Ravenwood in the first scene, but forgot about the ghost of Lucia in the final scene. I wonder if it was added after 2007 – there is no singing involved. Curtain Call. Pratt as Lucia, Maestro Abbado, Girgolo as Edgardo, and Kowaljow as Raimondo. The 2007 performance we saw was when the current production was first used.

The New York Times review heaps praise on Grigolo, calling him the reason to go see this opera - and is otherwise neutral on the opera (Lucia was sung by a different soprano.) Chung Shu drove in, we had a simple dinner at Europan.

Its French version has enjoyed a bit of a renaissance recently with productions in Bonn and Freiburg and upcoming performances in Liège and Parma, the latter with Annick Massis, Ramon Vargas and Michele Pertusi scheduled to appear. “Trove Thursday” presented a Vêpres a while back with […]
