Lucia di Lammermoor: Riga Opera Festival

Over het evenement

Lucia di Lammermoor is Gaetano Donizzeti's most celebrated opera and the Latvian National Opera presents its wonderful production at the Riga Opera Festival.

Lucia di Lammermoor's plot is loosely based upon Sir Walter Scott's historical novel The Bride of Lammermoor, published in 1819. The fragile Lucia is caught in the feud between two noble Scottish families. Her dreams about happiness and love fall to pieces in the desperate race for power and fortune…

The Riga Opera Festival, founded in 1998 as the first festival of its size and scale in Eastern Europe, has already become a valuable tradition. The festival is highly anticipated by both Latvian audiences and opera‐lovers from abroad who form the biggest part of all Riga Opera Festival’s visitors. Every summer, the festival marks the end of the Latvian National Opera’s performance season with an overview of the best moments of the previous year, offering fans a chance to relive their favourite scenes or see what they’ve missed.
