'Lucia di Lammermoor' Production Honors Late Professor
The University of Kentucky Opera Theatre presents the powerful opera 'Lucia di Lammermoor' in celebration of the illustrious career of the late Gail Robinson. Robinson, a noted singer at the Metropolitan Opera and professor of voice at UK School of Music, was best known for her portrayal of the title role in 'Lucia.' This Donizetti masterpiece is a classical example of the bel canto style of opera. The UK Opera Theatre will present the fully staged opera at 7:30 p.m. March 6, 7, 13 and 14, at the Lexington Opera House.

Music is by the Lexington Symphony Orchestra and tickets are reasonably priced from $12-$34. The Opera House has gone through a recent remodelling, including more comfortable and roomier seating. Information on the opera and obtaining tickets can be found at the link at the top of this post.
