Gaetano Donizetti encountered incredible public favour in Paris. Paris was a city that gave him many things, it made him realise that dance music was a source of a pleasure never experienced before by large theatre audiences. He therefore realised that, by adding those beats and that sonorous fever to the singing, he could create a truly explosive recipe. As is the case with our gastronomic tradition, there are ancient recipes that stand the test of time. We believe the time has come to put this Donizettian recipe into practice: as always, tell a story by making it theatrical, give the words the power of singing and accompany this singing with dance music. The meeting places of the world’s youth are the clubs, where the popular music genre of our time pulses: electronic music. Opera and electronic music. This has become our pet project, and we believe Lucia di Lammermoor – the great immortal story on the tragic condition of youth – is the ideal epic for today’s DJs to reinterpret.
