• Fine Art Friday:Lucia di Lammermoor

  

   

  Ann Arbor Opera is performing Lucia di Lammermoor this weekend and I'd love to see it.  DD#1 is singing in the chorus and she's dancing in this photo ~ exactly in the center, looking out, smiling big.  The director chose a 1940s' setting for this production.

  Only problem is that I'm 800 miles away.

  That means I'll be researching the storyline from home.  I understand that it's based on a novel by Sir Walter Scott, The Bride of Lammermoor.  Interestingly enough, this DD has also been researching her family tree and discovered our true Scottish heritage.  No evidence of feuding lines, thank goodness!  Here's a link to some recent revelations.

  Now to locate a CD and/or DVD.

  What concerts, musicals, operas, or whatnot are adding culture to your summer?
