A Donizetti Evening Full of Love, Madness, and Suspense

With Lucia di Lammermoor, the Immling Festival brings one of the great Belcanto classics to the stage: an opera about forbidden love, family pressure, and the thin line between passion and psychological breakdown. Gaetano Donizetti condensed with this score a world of darkness, inner turmoil, and vocal ecstasy into a stage experience that remains one of the most compelling operas in the repertoire to this day.

Belcanto with Heart Palpitations and Goosebumps

The story based on Walter Scott unfolds in the Scottish Highlands, where feudal power, societal constraints, and romantic hope collide. It is precisely this contrast that makes the opera so timeless: Lucia becomes not only the tragic heroine but a figure against which the entire system of a rigid order grinds. Donizetti's music responds with finely drawn cantilenas, feverish ensembles, and a famous madness scene that serves as a touchstone for vocal art and dramatic precision on every stage.

Immling Focuses on Atmosphere and Music Theater

At the festival venue Gut Immling, this opera transforms into an evening with a special closeness to nature and great theatrical impact. The festival describes the production as an opera in three acts by Gaetano Donizetti, with the Italian original and German supertitles. The musical direction is under Cornelia von Kerssenbrock, direction and concept are in the hands of Ludwig Baumann, set design is by Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Hipp, and lighting and video design by Maximilian Ulrich. This constellation promises a concentrated music theater experience that intricately weaves sound, image, and narrative together.

The Power of the Staging Between Moor and Myth

The material already thrives on visual shadow spaces: fog, castles, cold, shattering love promises. Immling situates the work in a venue that itself is strongly influenced by landscape, evening light, and festival atmosphere. It is here that Lucia di Lammermoor unfolds its full suggestive power: the stage becomes a psychological resonance space where the elegance of Belcanto converges with dramatic density. Those who experience opera as immediate, physical art will find here an evening full of suspense, beauty, and emotional release.

What Visitors Can Expect

The performance on June 20, 2026, begins at 18:00 at the Festspielhaus Immling and lasts approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes plus about 30 minutes of intermission, according to festival information.
