Metropolitan Opera: Live in HD

Lucia di Lammermoor (3x8)

:

Mary Zimmerman's production updates the story from 16th to 19th century for reasons that are not explained, nor required by the story. Some interesting aspects are added though; for instance, we see the ghost that haunts Lucia, and in the final scene, Lucia herself is apparently the ghost. The Met's production utilizes Donizetti's original orchestration, which calls for a glass harmonica as the accompaniment in the Mad Scene.
