A sneak preview of Natalie Dessay‘s Lucia, scheduled for next season’s opening night at the Met.

La Cieca hears that Dessay’s first Met Lucia will be a new production, but she guesses it will not be this one from the Opéra Bastille (bootlegged about six weeks ago). Though, to tell the truth, this soprano would make even so dreary and gloomy a staging work, as additional snippets from the opera (also from YouTube) suggest.
