Semperoper - Dresden LocationTheaterplatz 2 - 01067 Dresden Allemagne

During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Dresden, which became known as the « Florence of the Elbe, » became a primordially important intellectual centre and its orchestra, which developed a new virtuostic instrumental style, spread its influence throughout Europe. Under the influence of Weber, Dresden actively participated in the renaissance of German opera.

For instance, the Opera House built by Gottfried Semper in 1841 welcomed Wagner's first successes in his attempt to renovate German lyrical art; RIENZI, THE FLYING DUTCHMAN, and TANNHÄUSER. But Wagner was also a political agitator and he was forced to leave the city after the 1848 revolution.

In 1858, the orchestra organized its first regular season of symphonic concerts for the public. Following a fire in 1869, Semper erected a second concert hall which was subsequently destroyed, along with the rest of the splendid baroque city, during the devastating bombings of 1945. In 1985, the reopening of one of Europe’s most beautiful opera houses

Lucia di Lammermoor

LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR, THE PINNACLE OF TRAGIC OPERA

Lucia di Lammermoor is a tragic opera in three acts composed in 1835 by Gaetano Donizetti. Donizetti's first tragic drama, this immensely successful opera is often regarded as the first masterpiece of Italian Romanticism. It is certainly Donizetti's most accomplished work, written at the height of his fame. A masterpiece of the tragic register, Lucia di Lammermoor is as much one of the greatest achievements of bel canto opera as it is of nascent Romanticism. The tragic drama was also the first work of the prolific librettist Salvadore Cammarano, who drew inspiration from the work of Walter Scott.

The action takes place on the Lammermuir moors in Scotland at the end of the 16th century. The backdrop is the conflict between Catholics and Protestants, with an impossible love in the foreground. Ashton's Protestant family has taken up residence in the ruined castle of the Ravenswoods, a rival Catholic family. The fiery love between Lucia Ashton and Edgardo Ravenswood runs completely counter to family loyalties...
