Amarillo Opera presents Gaetano Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor

[@georgeionita7307]

An unexpected high performance in Amarillo . Congratulation from Romania .

[@billcarr54]

This is by far my favorite opera, one I've listened to scores of times, this a wonderful performance, Amarillo is fortunate to have such a great company.

[@selini52]

Bill Carr yes,very lucky and why was this tenor not heard of worldwide?

@Tristen Rodney Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@devoncyrus7708]

@Tristen Rodney It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much you saved my account :D

All I have to say is BRAVO!!! I felt like I saw Lucia di Lammermoor. Solid singing and acting and story telling free of pretentious stage settings and directors trying to make a name for themselves. Thank you for using period costumes and settings (so that the libretto makes sense!) and doing Donizetti's work justice. I found this to be a much more enjoyable experience than what I've gotten from Rome and the Metropolitan Opera lately. Thank you. Well Done!

[@AdeleDusenbury]

I think I agree with you about liking a period setting. I'm going to see the Met Opera's new production of Lucia on May 21 and have just been reading about the new staging - Lucia is a drug addict and it's taking place in an American Rust Belt town that features a pawn show and motel. It sounds even worse than the staging of Rigoletto in Las Vegas where Gilda is shot hiding in the trunk of a car. I guess I'm not as open to new approaches as I could be. I wonder what they'll use for the fountain.

[@HenryDrives]

Yes but also in a traditional setting the words of the drama have to be respected. In act I both Lucia and Alisa are frightened by what Lucia is telling. Why are they smiling? And althaugh they're singing very well considering the context, this is a dark drama, and if you smile singing... all the tension goes away. The same about Edgardo. In act I he enters and he has not yet decided if he has to forget hate because he loves her. When he gives her the ring the libretto says "con improvvisa decisione", "with a sudden decision". Everything of this has gone away from the scene.

[@HenryDrives]

AND Lucia doesn't commit suicide! She dies out of the scene by crazyness and consumption.

[@petercrossley2956]

Having just this day watched, on KZbin, productions of this opera from Madrid and Barcelona (both cities I have lived in overr the years) I am proud to say this is the more authentic production.. I am as against modernizing period works as I am for using women in pants roles in opera when there is a flood of classically trained countertenors currently restricted to concert work. Call me old fashioned but, as Tevya says, :"Tradition." Lucia as a drug addict ? Please stop this stupidity.

[@CaptPatrick01]

I came here out of curiosity after seeing _The Fifth Element_ and was like, that first part was beautiful, where was it from? Then Google was like, "it's the mad scene from an opera called _Lucia di Lammermoor."_ Ok, show me. Next thing I know, I've sat through a 2 hour long opera and I don't regret it.

[@Jobotubular]

Love the chemistry between the principals; a fine production.

[@e-bikeskibum7141]

WOW!! This is a great cast!!!! Even the tenor is fabulous!!!

[@zz6480]

Wonderful performance, beautiful amazing voice!!!

[@panteranegra4548]

Sem palavras! Eu amo essa ópera! Cada ária me faz chorar. Meu sonho é assistir no teatro, mas nunca esteve no Brasil.

[@MegaVicar]

Very nice! Marvelous singing, and I enjoyed a production that looks like the eighteenth century, since that is the libretto’s setting.

[@erwindeweerdt5378]

Amazing performance, amazing top quality voices

[@macdedancer]

Thank you. I'm enjoying the opera in Limerick Ireland.

[@mariezenaida]

Beautiful and convincing!

[@paulgraham6134]

Thank you for posting the opera. Very appreciative.

[@danielepstein8755]

This is a remarkable production. Bravei

[@lucynka102]

Eric Barry is wonderful

[@svetlanabelikova9425]

С помощью искусства люди научились наслаждаться страланиями. Сюжет напоминает Ромео и Джульетту. Оптимизм заключается в том, что на том свете герои будут вместе.

[@stellau3028]

Bravo. its my favorite opera.

[@danielfigueroa8602]

Great tenor!

[@HenryDrives]

I act is Rosina di Lammermoor 😁

[@jakeo1209]

Thiat was a really good production. Wonderful performers. All of them. Good stage setting. The only complaint I have is the sound recording. Baritons completely overpowered everyone else. Other than that, it was great.

[@fabriziomariagarzi5534]

Brava questa Hanan Alattar.

[@opusquatre]

Mary Taylor Ibarra has a wonderful voice.. she would be a great Waltraute, a.great Kundry.. Hope to hear her singing some Richard Stauss Letzte Lieder, or Brahms' Alt Rhapsody.. I'm sure she would excell.. But when I search for her here on YT or on Google, I find nothing.. How can I hear more of her ?

[@Aneldarx]

Why are they smiling and laughing during Lucia's first aria? Do they understand what is she singing about???

[@opusquatre]

I guess Lucia is described here as childish, not totally mature and even more, psychologically fragile, able to jump from joy to sadness, from fear to excitement.. That introduces very well the mad scene in act III.. And Alisa smiling or mocking her ghost vision is nothing surprising, to me.. and let's remember the reason why they both are present near this fountain : Lucia has a rendez-vous with her lover.. Even if the news she has to tell him are not optimistic, I can understand she feels happy to meet him.. I'm not disturbed by this apparently light-hearted behaviour.. le calme avant la tempête..You can compare with kzbin.info/www/bejne/e16ano2BhsuBnJI where Lucia only smiles in the Quando Rapito aria, which probably looks more obvious..

Guy below has no idea about artistic expression. Great Lucia and fabulous costume which I would love to be lost inside!

[@goochchuang]

Act 3 scene 1 is skipped?

[@danielfigueroa8602]

It is not at 1:20:48?

[@Lillipod1]

1:11 for the best part. ROH made a hash of this opera trying to turn it into racism. They have politically corrected themselves into oblivion. He couldn't even sing and they added a ton of smut.

[@fedoraromanov1081]

Complimenti. Suggerirei solo ai cantanti di studiare molto a fondo la lingua, la pronuncia e il fraseggio in italiano. Vi assicuro che è necessario perché oltretutto assicurerebbe un'emissione vocale più libera.

[@chocolatesouljah]

2:19 17:05

[@marinacaracciolo3161]

Voci piuttosto insignificanti, pronuncia faticosa e talora errata, esecuzione nel complesso non soddisfacente, con una gestualità da commedia sproporzionata alla tensione drammatica dell'intera opera. Tutto sommato si salvano le scene e i costumi: niente di geniale ma almeno confacenti al luogo e all'epoca in cui è ambientata la vicenda. (Manca inoltre la scena alla torre di Ravenswood, duetto tra Edgardo e Enrico Ashton).

[@selini52]

Marina Caracciolo ma siamo nella provincia in America,menomale che non cantino in inglese

[@HenryDrives]

@@selini52 sì però cavolo la scena della torre non si taglia!😁

[@mohsenarambon]

Tenor 😂

[@mrlopez-pz7pu]

You people think THIS is good?!?! The soprano is wretched. She is horrible. They all are ........and I find it extraordinary that none of you seem to realize

[@Ronizetti]

I think the conducting has a lot to do with it - very pedestrian. The singers were never allowed to “wind up” at that pace!

[@Ronizetti]

… and I’m gathering these are college students, it’s early yet

[@tony6896]

Agreed

[@thabangmahlohla3251]

This is a rubbish attempt to execute this masterpiece...pure nonsense

[@thabangmahlohla3251]

It's really a mess

[@jorgequincke3921]

excelentes los interpretes, lastima la orquesta, muy pobre!!!!!!
