Lucia di Lammermoor -- The Fragile Mind In Extremis -- A Multimedia Opera Lecture

Against the backdrop of a foreboding Scottish landscape, Lucia’s story of despair and mental torment unfolds. Donizetti’s opera is steeped in blood feuds, forbidden love, incestuous desire, murder, insanity, death, and suicide. It is a rich case study of psychosis and the tragedy that often accompanies such extremes in literature.
