Italian conductor Speranza Scappucci leads the Philharmonia Zürich and the Chorus of the Opernhaus Zürich in a performance of Gaetano Donizetti's tragic opera "Lucia di Lammermoor" (1835). Salvatore Cammarano based his libretto on Sir Walter Scott's novel "The Bride of Lammermoor" (1819). Set in 17th century Scotland, the opera tells the story of Lucia, who falls in love with Edgardo, her family's arch enemy. Lucia's brother Enrico, however, forces her to marry a man she does not love instead, driving the young woman insane. Highpoint of the opera is Lucia's famous 'mad scene', in which the technically demanding aria "Il dolce suono" is heard. In this scene, Lucia's voice is accompanied by a glass harmonica, adding to its eeriness. Among the soloists are Irina Lungu (Lucia), Massimo Cavalletti (Enrico Ashton), Piotr Beczała (Edgardo di Ravenswood), Andrew Owens (Lord Arturo Bucklaw), Oleg Tsibulko (Raimondo Bidebent), Roswitha Christina Müller (Alisa), and Iain Milne (Normanno). This performance was recorded at the Opernhaus Zürich, Switzerland, in 2021.
