The autographed score of Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor at the IIC-NY on the occasion of the new production at the Metropolitan Opera, conducted by Riccardo Frizza. The precious manuscript will be on display from April, 22 to  May, 20 2022 - 10AM to 4PM -  Italian Cultural Institute 686 Park Avenue, NY. 

Lucia di Lammermoor is undoubtedly, together with L’elisir d’amore, the most famous opera by Gaetano Donizetti and the most performed throughout the world. Thanks to a 1985 donation by the Perolari family, the city of Bergamo was able to acquire the autographed score of this opera, which was first performed at the San Carlo Theatre in Naples in 1835.
