Opera singer Betty Herrick as Lucia in a Santa Monica Civic Opera of “Lucia di Lammermoor.” Herrick as Lucia stands at center while the cast lines up along the set’s periphery to watch her. The cast wears costumes evoking 17th century attire, the women in gowns, the men in satin breeches and doublet-inspired tunics, ruff collars, and baldrics worn diagonally across their chest (to hold their swords). Lucia wears a smock under her satin robe. The setting is of a hall in Lammermoor Castle with paneled walls and a stairway. Props include a table and chair and chandelier hanging overhead. The conductor’s podium, musical scores and musicians are viewed in the orchestra pit at foreground. Likely performed at John Adams Junior High School, Santa Monica.
