Lucia Di Lammermoor, also known as Lucie Of Lammermoor, is an opera composed by Italian composer Gaetano Donizetti in 1848. The opera is set in Scotland and tells the tragic story of Lucia Ashton, a young woman who is forced by her brother to marry a man she does not love in order to save their family's fortunes. Lucia is in love with another man, Edgardo Ravenswood, and their love is forbidden due to a long-standing feud between their families. As the story unfolds, Lucia's mental state deteriorates, and tragedy ensues. The opera is divided into three acts and features beautiful arias and duets, including Lucia's famous ""Mad Scene.""
