Lucia di Lammermoor

Mary Zimmerman's production updates the story from 16th to 19th century for reasons that are not explained, nor required by the story. Some interesting aspects are added though; for instance, we see the ghost that haunts Lucia, and in the final scene, Lucia herself is apparently the ghost. The Met's production utilizes Donizetti's original orchestration, which calls for a glass harmonica as the accompaniment in the Mad Scene.
