Opera Lucia di Lammermoor, semnată de compozitorul Gaetano Donizetti, reprezintă una dintre cele mai valoroase creații ale belcanto-ului italian. Inspirată din literatura romantică, lucrarea explorează conflictul dintre sentimentele autentice și constrângerile sociale.

Giuseppe Verdi's legendary opera tells a story about love and hate, life and death, innocence and sin. The performance is built on these contradictions, as well as the face of the main heroine - Violeta Valerie.

With her body crushed by an incurable disease, the courtesan tends towards a pure and bright love. The simplicity and sincerity that pervade the music of the Italian composer, make us approach it with love and open our souls to distinguish how they cried and how deeply human characters, realistically outlined rejoiced. The authenticity of their feelings is compelling. "Traviata" remains one of the most sung and acclaimed works in the history of universal music. see more
