New Orleans Opera Presents "Lucia Di Lammermoor"

At the Mahalia Jackson Theater, New Orleans Opera will present Lucia Di Lammermoor—a tragic opera in Italian that recounts the story of star-crossed lovers from feuding families, an arranged marriage for political gain, an elder brother out to destroy his sister’s romance, and a murderous, psychotic bride. Is there anything Donizetti’s most popular work is missing? Did we mention that it has the most famous mad scene in all of opera? Come see and hear Lucia’s beautiful descent into madness. 7:30 pm Friday and 2:30 pm Sunday at 1419 Basin Street. Purchase tickets at neworleansopera.org.
