Lucia and her maid and confidant Alisa.

Lucia di Lammermoor

Directed by Martin Hargrove

Set in the Scottish Moors, Lucia is a young girl in love with a young boy her family disapproves of. They meet in secret, declaring their love, but once the family drives him away and stops his letters she falls into despair, thinking he has abandoned her. She agrees to marry the man her family has chosen, but upon signing the marriage contract her lover returns, cursing her for now being bound to another man. Lucia falls from despair to madness, murders her new husband on their wedding night and dies of a broken heart. Her lover kills himself to be with her, learning of her death, in the cemetery of his family.
