Opera McGill’s Lucia di Lammermoor a success!
Held January 26-29, 2018 at Monument-National, Opera McGill took to the highlands of Scotland for their latest production, Lucia di Lammermoor. On top of the talents of Opera McGill and the McGill Symphony Orchestra, the opera featured the work of director Patrick Hansen, conductor Stephen Hargreaves, set designer Vincent Lefèvre, costume designer Ginette Grenier, light designer Serge Filiatrault, make-up artist Florence Cornet, and hair stylist Réjean Forget.
Loosily based on Sir Walter Scott's historical novel The Bride of Lammermoor, the opera tells the story of a young woman in love completely isolated by the Scottish society that surrounds her. Lucia's tragedy is that when confronted with a forced marriage which would betray her true love, she sees no alternative but to strike out violently.
