Title: A Lucia comme il faut...
Review: Donizetti and Bellini's, uncut, operas run about as long as Wagner's - and approximate the same heft. If you love this opera, get this dvd; study it, live with it. If you're into singers showing off, then get one of the others - you'll save a lot of time but of course you'll be missing the Donizetti boat.I already revered La Scala but this production really blew me away - and I could compare the feeling of being in the tradition only by remembering performances of Swan Lake at the Maryinski. Even the productions featuring Mme (...)(at whose shrine I daily bow) seem a bit silly in relation to this one, full blooded and complete.
