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 2003 under the baton of Riccardo Chailly, views 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 as Lucia, Pene Pati as Edgardo, and Boris Pinkhasovich as Enrico—Michele Pertusi shines as a commanding Raimondo.
