THANK YOU to everyone who made Lucia di Lammermoor a *raving* success!

On Friday March 28th, 2025 at 7pm and Sunday March 30th, 2025 at 5pm, Sotto Voce unveiled what music critic Peter Hall referred to in his review as “Bel Canto Opera Brilliance” with our take on Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor. We owe the success of this production to all our artists, board members, volunteers, donors, community partners, and audience members. It truly takes a village to put on a show like this and we were so thrilled with the positive reception to all our hard work.

One of our favorite quotes from Peter Halls’s review was this:

“What voices! Bel canto promises us soaring, lyrical lines that convey deep emotion, all while we witness exceptional skill with intricate melodies and elaborate embellishments. It’s not just deep emotion and it’s not just technical dazzle. It’s both at the same time, which is a high-wire act. And boy did these people deliver.”

It was truly our pleasure to share this show and we can’t wait to share others with you soon! Stay tuned to our TICKETS page for information about our last show of the season – Debussy’s L’Enfant Prodigue – and our next season’s offering – our annual Fall Gala, Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana, and Beethoven’s Fidelio, as well as concerts and outreach events.

ABOUT THE SHOW

Under the visionary leadership of Stage Director Alex Huddleston and musical direction of master bel canto pedagogue and internationally acclaimed tenor Arturo Spinetti, Lucia will be presented in a bold new light, featuring athletic vocals in an immersive and imaginative staging, including an original narration provided by the character “Sir Walter Scott.”

The historical Walter Scott authored the novel “The Bride of Lammermoor”  in 1819 – the source text that inspired the creation of the opera in 1835 – and his presence as a character in our production “raises the veil,” helping to drive the narrative of this real-life murder scandal that rocked 17th century Scotland.

The drama culminates in the famous “mad scene” – quoted in such popular culture references as the movie “The Fifth Element” – and features some of opera’s most intense and expressive vocals.
