The Berkshire Opera Festival is set to perform “Lucia di Lammermoor.”

The opera will be conducted and directed by BOF’s Co-founders Brian Garman and Jonathon Loy. The three performances will take place August 22-28 at the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center in Great Barrington.

Conductor and Artistic Director Garman said, “For our mainstage production this summer, BOF returns to the wonderful world of bel canto with what is certainly the jewel in the crown —Donizetti’s towering Lucia di Lammermoor. Full of suspense, pathos, and vocal acrobatics, it’s an opera that demands the very greatest singers, and that’s exactly what we have in store for you.”

Director Loy added, “I’m extremely excited to produce what I consider my favorite opera. Of the entire bel canto repertoire, Lucia has the most fleshed-out characters, and perfectly captures the romanticization of the Scottish culture with its brooding and gloomy atmosphere. This production will also explore the supernatural in depth.”

The opera will star Christine Lyons in the title role, Terrence Chin-Loy as Edgardo, Dean Murphy as Enrico, and Stefan Egerstrom as Raimondo. Luke Norvell rounds out the cast as Arturo.
