Lucia di Lammermoor, Donizetti

Performing the role of Edgardo in Barefoot Opera’s touring production of Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor.

A bold new take on Donizetti’s romantic tragedy
14-night UK tour | From 4 September 2025

Barefoot Opera presents Lucia di Lammermoor like you’ve never seen it before: Raw, immersive, and urgently alive. This emotionally charged reimagining fuses Gothic romance with gripping psychological drama, powered by a vibrant live band blending classical and gypsy jazz.

At the heart of the opera lies Lucia’s haunting descent into madness – a moment of virtuosic intensity that will leave you breathless. Featuring emerging operatic talent, daring staging and the visceral energy of performers who sing and play live on stage, this production breaks down barriers between audience and performer.

Whether you’re a lifelong opera fan or completely new to the genre, Lucia di Lammermoor promises an unforgettable night of music, emotion, and powerful storytelling.
