2010.10.27. Lucia di Lammermoor

Seattle Opera presents Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor. Superb acting, tear wrenching, especially Lucia (however her voice goes dry in high notes). Edgardo's voice is bright and resonant. Raimondo, the priest, has a wonderful base. Costumes are like 19^th century, even though the story is set in the 17^th century. Stage set is effective, also look more modern than it should be. Lighting is always excellent. Beautiful melodies, pretty song like even when talking about tragedy. Big chorus.
