“The design of the Met’s new production [of Lucia di Lammermoor] by Simon Stone suggests a present-day American Rust Belt, an area once prosperous but now fallen into decline and neglect.”

La Cieca
An online source further describes the production:
Le cadre de la Lucia nouvelle production mise en scène par Stone au Met ce printemps. Une Lucia en Amérique, camée à l’oxycontin dans un coin délabré et soumise aux violences misogynes au milieu e la décrépitude de la Rust Belt.
The production opens April 23.
