Aleksandra Kurzak won Artist of the Year in 2010/11 for her performance as Lucia di Lammermoor. In the conclusion to her mad scene, Lucia prepares for an eternity she hopes she can share with her beloved Edgardo. “Opera News” called her performance a ‘musical and dramatic tour de force’ and said that her “mad scene made those of most contemporary Lucia interpreters look quite tame.” Bruno Cinquegrani conducts the orchestra of Seattle Opera.
