Lucia di Lammermoor

Lucia di Lammermoor is a dramma tragico, or tragic opera in three companies of Gaetano Donizetti. Salvatore Cammarano wrote the Italian libretto to the historical novel The Bride of Lammermoor by Walter Scott. It is one of the most important Bel Cantooperas. The premiere took place on september 26, 1835 at the Teatro San Carlo in Naples. Donizetti also edited this score to a French version which debuted on August 6, 1839 at the Théâtre de la Renaissance in Paris as Lucie de Lammermoor.

Are The Bride of Lammermoor was also for Donizetti opera on several occasions to a modified. In order to make the novel as soon as possible to handle – there served as always have an end date to be achieved-Donizetti and Cammarano probably the libretto by Michele Carafa Le Nozze the Lammermoor used. This opera was performed in Paris six years in advance. It is from this-over the original novel on substantial points truncated-libretto hard to the background of the characters to gauge; even though because in this libretto at performances often denominations are made. The number of characters already had reduced Carafa. Donizetti and Cammarano went further: the whole family Ashton (mother, father, two brothers) was telescoped into a single character: Enrico. Also eliminated the chatty servant (Caleb Balderstone) by Enrico Craigengelt, a sea captain and the threatening with evil intentions and a hidden agenda. Though feuds remained as. Frank Hayston, Lord of Bucklaw, remains virtually unchanged as Arturo. The blind Alice, kluizenaarster an old Prophet with occult habits, is a rather boring as Alisa confidante, that in the French version, therefore, would occur. There are many other elements lost in the libretto from the novel by Scott; as the three witches, who are the cause of the insanity of Lucia. ===Historical source[ Edit] === What facts is concerned the story on a historical event based: the marriage between Janet Dalrymple and David Dunbar at the time of the religious struggle in England and Scotland at the end of the 17th century. An ambitious mother forced her daughter to marry someone, that the daughter did not see clearly are. This had to be in his wedding night aghast David Dunbar from the bridal suite, there he would be injured seriously by Janet. Incidentally, he was appalled by the beloved by Janet; so it will never become clear if this has been not the attacker of Dunbar. ===Added elements[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:20.3636360168457px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13.63636302948px;">Donizetti and have the final adjusted Cammarano. The mysterious disappearance of Edgar (Thu)-he sinks into the roman road in quicksand, as he was on his way to the game – set up differently: the opera ends with a large suicide scene at the tomb of the Ravenswoods. In addition, a ghost, a storm and, in particular, the madness scene of Lucia added. As well as in the novel is the atmosphere dark and menacing. The story (forbidden desire, rivalry of families, the death of two lovers) seems akin to Romeo and Juliet. But Shakespeare offers even optimism, chance of escape (which failed by a mistake in the timing). For Lucia and Edgardo there is no escape but misery, madness and an awful end. ==Division Of Roles<span class="mw-editsection" len="338" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ==Synopsis<span class="mw-editsection" len="334" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ===Main storyline<span class="mw-editsection" len="351" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:20.3636360168457px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13.63636302948px;">The brother of Lucia, Enrico (Lord of Lammermoor) participated in a targeted political movement against the King.

In this "interregnum" of about ten years-between Bellini (who had died four days before the premiere) and the emerging Verdi -the leading opera composer Donizetti was global. Lucia di Lammermoor was within a few years in all major opera centers of the old and new world intensified. A long line of great Sopranos has created a furore with the lead. In our time should be called Maria Callas, who lived with her dramatic soprano has given brilliant performances. Originally a lighter voice than that of Donizetti will to Callas have thought.Also Joan Sutherland and Renata Scotto should be called. Montserrat Caballé also has a wonderful version created later added, with much of the decorations have been removed. A lot depends on personal taste here.

For example, and was often the Tower scene or even the graveyard scene omitted. This masterpiece of Donizetti degenerates to a vehicle for Sopranos to show their trick. The complete implementation is one of the most balanced operas: in fact, all roles tricky, but in terms of dramatically showing grateful.

 * Donizetti had the obligatory accompanying party to the waanzinscene with a armonica originally either a glass harmonica (which he had previously done at Elisabetta al castello di Kenilworth). Donizetti had already led him to the performances by replaced by a flute. In this implementation of DNO is yet a glass harmonica performed to evoke an uncanny, unearthly atmosphere or enhance.
 * This performance is virtually complete. Well there is chosen to the lock of the second stage in the second act to waanzinscene immediately after the docking.
 * In this direction is the location of the whole first act moved to the bedroom of Lucia. The bed out of the bedroom in the final scene of Lucia comes back as the deathbed, which leave the dead themselves dying next to Edgardo Lucia don't miss this reference to Romeo and Juliet.
