COMING UP
Emma Matthews stars as Lucia in Lucia di Lammermoor. This beautifully and traditionally crafted production creates the perfect period atmosphere for this tragic love story. A high point of Romantic opera, this bel canto work is a magnificent example of the seamless fusion of poetry and music, forged into melodic expression which speaks so directly to the heart and memory.

The famous “mad scene” has been the highlight of this opera and claimed the attention of prima donnas for over 150 years. Notably including Dame Joan Sutherland who performed on this set. Now Emma Matthews takes on the role with West Australian Opera in July.

Of her performance with Opera Australia in 2008, The Australian Stage said:

"Emma Matthews' characteristically silver-voiced form...grew in sparkle and assurance...and delight, a vocally as much as physically to have a young and vivacious Lucia - a character whose dramas and histrionics are so much those of youth."
