Jessé Martins will conduct Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor as a part of Sarasota Opera’s 2024 Winter Festival season.

Deceit leads to murder and madness, in Donizetti's masterpiece, based on Sir Walter Scott's The Bride of Lammermoor.  To save his family's fortunes, Enrico Ashton has promised his sister Lucia's hand to a Scottish nobleman, instead of Edgardo, the man she loves, and a member of a rival family.  The ensuing drama is excitingly captured in Donizetti's beautifully romantic music, with many well-known operatic highlights including Lucia's famous mad scene.

Performance Dates:

February 24 - March 23, 2024
