December 2006 at the « Bastille Opera » in Paris.
Celebrated soprano Natalie Dessay takes on the role of « Lucia di Lammermoor » in Donizetti’s opera for the first time in her career.

“Lucia” is one of the key operas of the Italian romantic repertoire. The story of a woman manipulated – and finally destroyed - by a male-dominated environment of rigid, military arrogance.
In Andrei Serban’s spectacular staging, Dessay offers a physically demanding performance.

In her own words, she tells the story of Lucia, a story of one woman’s struggle …the struggle of all women.
