Chandos' Opera in English label presents the premiere recording in English of Lucia of Lammermoor, one of Donizetti's most enduring operas.

This is a complete recording of Lucia and, though most other sets are spread across three discs, this is offered on two, making this new release exceptionally good value for money.

Elizabeth Futral began her career with the Lyric Opera of Chicago and has since performed with New York City Opera, Houston Grand Opera, Los Angeles Opera, the Bayerische Staatsoper and The Dallas Opera as well as at many music festivals worldwide. She is now established as one of the world's major coloratura sopranos.
