Lucia

image

The ancestral home of singers Kate Ashton and her brother Hamish is partly ruined and in desperate need of repair.

Hamish has emotionally blackmailed his sister into marrying Oliver Hickox , a rich American tenor whose millions will restore the house to its former glory. To celebrate the alliance, he arranges a wedding night performance of Donizetti’s opera, Lucia di Lammermoor, with Kate in the title role. However, during the show’s tense rehearsals, it quickly becomes clear that there is only a thin line between Kate’s situation and the opera’s story – of Lucia, a young girl who murders the husband she has been forced to marry. Kate, like Lucia, has fallen desperately in love with someone else; in this case her opera co-star Sam. Events shift between reality and fantasy as the differences between the group and their on-stage characters become dangerously obscured. Produced by Lexington Films
