Scenes from our February 18, 2004 production of Lucia di Lammermoor
1 << 2 << 3 << 4
Act three opens with wedding festivities, minus Lucia and Arturo who, legally wed, are presumably getting it on in some drafty upstairs suite at Lammermoor.
But that's not exactly the case. Wedding guests watch in horror (above) as Raimondo (Frank de Jong, far left) announces that Lucia (Serena Kemball) has gone mad, stabbed Arturo to death, and is arriving at the party.
The famous mad scene ensues, with Lucia believing she is with Edgardo once again. Enrico arrives, realizes that maybe the wedding wasnt such a good idea, but is silenced by the pathos of Lucias plight.
Distraught guests, leaving the castle, encounter Edgardo (Kennon Saari) and inform him that Lucias madness has led to her collapse and death.
Not wanting to live without Lucia, Edgardo stabs himself, as Raimondo (Frank de Jong, far left) and horrified guests lament the outcome of this terrible day.
