Award-winning Greek-Australian soprano Elena Xanthoudakis extends her bel canto repertoire by taking on the starring role in Lucia di Lammermoor, directed by one of Australia’s most accomplished opera directors Suzanne Chaundy. This new production of Donizetti’s wildly tragic Scottish opera follows Melbourne Opera’s (MO) history-making Ring Cycle Cultural Festival as it is awarded an Outstanding Special Achievement Award at the 2024 Green Room Awards.  A dramatic and demanding bel canto opera, Lucia di Lammermoor sees Elena Xanthoudakis and director Suzanne Chaundy reunite, following their critically acclaimed productions of Donizetti’s Maria Stuarda and Anna Bolena.
