Albina Shagimuratova is a force in the title role in L.A. Opera's production of Donizetti's 'Lucia di Lammermoor,' and Saimir Pirgu brings persuasive energy to the role of Lucia's star-crossed lover.A terrific cast, a production that enhances or at least doesn't much get in the way, and superb conducting make Los Angeles Opera's new production of "Lucia di Lammermoor" a go-to event.
