"Shagimuratova sent a clear, full lyric voice into the house that spun line after line of legato with remarkable ease." - Opera Today

Brown Theater | Sung in Italian with English Supertitles

The volatile religious and political conflicts of two ancient Scottish clans fuel the drama of Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor. Enrico Ashton (Scott Hendricks) forces his sister Lucia (Albina Shagimuratova)  to marry a powerful man despite her love for Edgardo (Dimitri Pittas), the scion of the Ravenswood, whose lands the Ashtons have taken. Drama Desk and Tony Award-winning director John Doyle (Sweeney Todd – Broadway, 2006) and designer Liz Ascroft create intense drama amid the ever-shifting Scottish landscape in this new Houston Grand Opera production, while Italian conductor Antonino Fogliani makes his HGO debut.
