Lucia Di Lammermoor (2022)

“The show is a feat of technical wizardry … Here, the singers, especially the two splendid leads, really seem to be singing for their lives … With [Ms. Sierra’s] crystalline soprano, bright, fluid coloratura and fearless ornamentation, she comes vividly alive … Mr. Camarena, a thrilling bel canto tenor, makes Edgardo sympathetic as well as amorous and hotheaded.”
— The Wall Street Journal 

“Visually stunning and conceptually arresting … In Simon Stone’s production of Donizetti’s enduring 1835 opera, the verdant hills and wild landscape of 18th-century Scotland have been paved over and replaced with the living ruins of the American Rust Belt … Conducted with tenderness, intention and exciting dynamic elasticity by Riccardo Frizza … The singing across the cast was stellar. Nadine Sierra truly rose to the occasion … She proved herself an arresting actress, too.”
— The Washington Post

“Sierra’s creamy, evenly produced soprano sounded gorgeous in Lucia’s music.”—Financial Times “Stone’s intricately deglamorized Lucia was never boring. Sierra clearly inspired the director: her movie star looks and quiet charisma were compulsively watchable … luminous.”
— Observer

“Javier Camarena sings Edgardo as a sweet-voiced softie, firmly in control of his tone and confident of his supple phrasing … The glue holding the whole contraption together is Sierra, whose Lucia evolves from bombshell to breakdown without sacrificing so much as a grace note … Sierra looks and sounds as if she’s been singing the title role her whole life.”
