Setting The Stage

Posted by Philipp Brieler on 9/13/2007

11 days until the Lucia di Lammermoor premiere!

With the final dress rehearsal only a week away, Lucia is rapidly taking shape on the Met stage. On Wednesday, director Mary Zimmerman rehearsed the second and third acts with soprano Natalie Dessay, who sings the title role, Marcello Giordani, who plays her lover Edgardo, Mariusz Kwiecien (Enrico), John Relyea (Raimondo) and Stephen Costello (Arturo). Following the emotional finale of the second act, choreographer Daniel Pelzig took the chorus through their polka steps for the wedding celebration before Dessay launched into her Mad Scene.
