Rainelle Kraus plays Donizetti's fragile and unhinged heroine in Nashville Opera's thrilling production of Lucia, The Bride of Lammermoor! Haunting and tragic with a brooding score performed by the Nashville Opera Orchestra, we're taken into the world of the young Lucia, a woman forcibly separated from her secret lover to marry another against her will. One of the most dramatic and bloody operas there is, strap in for an evening you'll not soon forget.

What is the story?

The romantic wilds of 19th-century Scotland come to life in Donizetti's shocking tale of madness and murder. As the only daughter of the Lammermoor clan, the fragile Lucia is expected to marry tactically into a local family against her own wishes, and that of her secret lover Egardo, a member of the Ravenswood family, the sworn enemies of the Lammermoors. When Egardo is despatched to France on business, Lucia's brother forces her to wed, an action that leads the desolate and isolated young woman to strike out in bloody revenge.
