Luisa Miller

It's been more than three decades since the Lyric Opera last staged a production of Giuseppe Verdi's Luisa Miller, a powerful romantic drama that features some of the composers most indelible arias. The opera explores the relationship between a soldier's daughter named Luisa and Rodolfo, the son of a count. As their respective guardians attempt to arrange marriages that will effectively tear the couple apart, Luisa and Rodolfo are forced to choose between placating their families and embracing their love for one another.
