Summary:
Star soprano Beverly Sills takes on one of her most acclaimed roles as the title heroine of Donizetti's bel canto drama, bringing dramatic truth to the character of the innocent Scottish girl forced into a political marriage and delivering vocal fireworks in Lucia's celebrated mad scene. The great Nicolai Gedda gives a memorable and impassioned performance as Edgardo, Lucia's beloved. Ryan Edwards is her hard-hearted brother, Enrico, and Ezio Flagello sings the loyal tutor Raimondo.

Percorrete
Percorriamo, le spiagge vicine
Tu sei turbato!
E n'ho ben d'onde
Cruda, funesta smania
La pietade in suo favore
Ancor non giunse?
Regnava nel silenzio alta la notte bruna
Quando, rapito in estasi
Egli s'avanza
Lucia, perdona se ad ora inusitata
Sulla tomba che rinserra il tradito genitore
Qui di sposa eterna fede
Veranno a te sull'aure
Lucia fra poco a te verrà
Tremante l'aspetto
Appressati, Lucia
Il pallor funesto, orrendo
Soffriva nel pianto
Un folle t'accese
Che Fia?
Se tradirmi tu potrai
Per te d'immenso giubilo
Per poco fra le tenebre
Dov'è Lucia?
Piange la madre estinta
Chi mi frena in tal momento
T'allontana, sciagurato
Esci, fuggi, il furor che mi accende
D'immenso giubilo s'innalzi un grido
Dalle stanze ove Lucia tratta avea col suo consorte
Oh! Qual funesto avvenimento!
Oh, giusto cielo!
Il dolce suono mi colpi di sua voce!
Ohimè! sorge il tremendo fantasma
Ardon gli incensi
S'avanza Enrico!
Spargi d'amaro pianto
Tombe degli avi miei
Fra poco a me ricovero
Oh, meschina! Oh, fato orrendo!
Tu che a Dio spiegasti l'ali.
