[WIKIPEDIA]"Lucia di Lammermoor (...) is a dramma tragico (tragic opera) in three acts by Italian composer Gaetano Donizetti. Salvadore Cammarano wrote the Italian-language libretto loosely based upon Sir Walter Scott's 1819 historical novel The Bride of Lammermoor. (...)The story concerns the emotionally fragile Lucy Ashton (Lucia) who is caught in a feud between her own family and that of the Ravenswoods. The setting is the Lammermuir Hills of Scotland (Lammermoor) in the 17th century. (...)Sir Walter Scott dramatized these elements in his novel The Bride of Lammermoor, which inspired several musical works including Lucia. (...)The "mad scene" -- The cabaletta "Spargi d'amaro pianto" following the more lyrical "Il dolce suono" from the "mad scene" (...), has historically been a vehicle for several coloratura sopranos (providing a breakthrough for Dame Joan Sutherland) and is a technically and expressively demanding piece. Donizetti wrote it in F major, but it is often transposed down a tone (two half-steps) into E-flat. (...)The original scoring of this scene was for glass harmonica and soprano. However, an adaptation for flute and the soprano soloist has been more commonly performed since, mostly for practical reasons." #booksale #Opera #CuttleboneBooks #Libretto #Vintage #Scotland #readersofinstagram #Italian #bookcollecting #bibliophile #GaetanoDonizetti #instabooks #SirWalterScott #Bookworm #TheBrideofLammermoor #instaread #SalatoreCammarano #booksforsale #Lammermuir #Antiquarian #Books #GlassHarmonica #BooksBooksBooks #MetropolitanOpera #collectiblebooks
