Gaetano Donizetti

Luciana Serra, Alfredo Kraus and Giorgio Zancanaro star in this production from the Teatro Regio di Parma, with Angelo Campori as conductor.

"In a feud between the Scottish families of Ravenswood and Lammermoor, Enrico has gained the upper hand over Edgardo, murdering his kinsmen and usurping his estates. By the time of the opera's action, in the late 17th century, Enrico's fortunes have begun to wane; in political disfavor, he stakes all on uniting his family with that of Arturo, whom he means to force his sister, Lucia, to marry."--Container.
