The performance is a winner of the "Golden Mask" award in 2010 in three categories. G. Donizetti's opera "Lucia di Lammermoor" enchants the audience with its melodies and heroism. Its plot is taken from Walter Scott's novel. It is somewhat naive. The main heroine, who falls in love with her brother's enemy, believes the slanders against her beloved and betrays him. The new fiancé, whom her treacherous brother offers her, she kills under the strain of her mental burden, after which she loses her sanity. The somewhat convoluted and not entirely plausible plot is more than compensated by the brilliant performances of the actors. Hibla Gerzmava, the prima of the theatre, with a soprano of extraordinary beauty, sincerely experiences Lucia's loss. In this performance, director Adolf Shapiro did everything to ensure that the audience would not be distracted by the visual perception of the setting. The conciseness of the mise-en-scène and the minimum of decorations, the strictness and asceticism in the interior. During the performance, birds fly along the walls, clouds float, and the water surface reflects. Occasionally, a white horse appears, and knights in metal armor pass by. Only the rich costumes in the baroque style attract attention. Here, music reigns. Donizetti's composition is architecturally challenging for performers, especially for Lucia. The heights of the soaring keyboards are only within the reach of experienced primadonnas. They share the glory with the lovesick tenors, who fully showcase their artistry. Overall, the discerning audience will get everything they want to hear from the most complex operatic work of world level. Duration of the performance - 2 hours 40 minutes. The performance is in two acts. For more performances, visit our website in the theatre section.
