Lucia of Lammermoor

Approved

It is enough to say The Love Potion (1832), Don Pasquale (1843) or Lucia di Lammermoor (1835), so that everyone knows that we are talking about the great composer of Italian early romantic operas, Gaetano Donizetti, a contemporary of Bellini and Rossini, a great melodist who is still role model in creating luxurious and extremely demanding vocal parts.

Unlike operas that had a hard time making their way to the audience and fame (let's remember the examples of Norma , Traviata or Carmen ), Lucia di Lammermoor was immediately greeted as a great success and has remained so until today - as one of the patterns of musical romanticism and bel canto.

And while Love Potion and Don Pasquale are witty comic operas and the true heirs of Rossini's works of this type, Lucia is a romantic tragedy (based on the work of Walter Scott) in which the artist, with powerful immersion, completely illuminated the character of the main character: from tenderness and warm love to boiling passion, despair and madness. Because of this, Lucia lamemmermoorska remains in the permanent memory of opera lovers, first of all for the large coloratura scope of the title role, but also as an extremely romantic opera with a typically southern melody that is very often considered the pinnacle of Donizetti's work.

English

Dovoljno je reći Ljubavni napitak (1832), Don Pasquale (1843) ili Lucia di Lammermoor (1835), pa da svi znaju da je riječ o velikom skladatelju talijanskih ranih romantičnih opera Gaetanu Donizettiju, suvremeniku Bellinijevu i Rossinijevu, sjajnom melodičaru koji je i danas uzorom u kreiranju raskošnih i izuzetno zahtjevnih vokalnih dionica.

Za razliku od opera koje su teško krčile put do slušatelja i slave (sjetimo se primjera Norme, Traviate ili Carmen) Lucia di Lammermoor bila je odmah dočekana kao velik uspjeh i to je ostala do danas - kao jedan od obrazaca glazbenog romantizma i belcanta.

I dok su Ljubavni napitak i Don Pasquale duhovite komične opere i pravi nasljednici Rossinijevih djela te vrste, Lucia je romantička tragedija (nastala prema djelu Waltera Scotta) u kojoj je umjetnik moćnim uživljavanjem u cijelosti osvijetlio lik glavne junakinje: od nježnosti i tople zaljubljenosti do uzavrele strastvenosti, očaja i ludila. Zbog toga Lucia lamemmermoorska i ostaje u trajnom sjećanju opernih zaljubljenika prije svega po velikom koloraturnom opsegu naslovne uloge, ali i kao izrazito romantična opera tipično južnjačke melodike koja se vrlo često procjenjuje vrhuncem Donizettijeva stvaralaštva.
