Jean Noté: Jean-Baptiste Noté (6 May 1858 in Tournai – 1 April 1922 in Brussels) was a Belgian operatic baritone.  He graduated from the Royal Conservatory of Ghent in 1884 with first prizes in singing and lyrical declamation.  He made his professional opera debut in 1885 at the Opéra de Lille as Lord Enrico Ashton in Gaetano Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammermoor".  From 1887-1889 he was committed to the Théatre Royal in Antwerp.  He then became a member of the Opéra National de Lyon where he had major success in the operas of Richard Wagner; especially the parts of Friedrich of Telramund in "Lohengrin" and Wolfram von Eschenbach in "Tannhäuser".  He was also admired at that theatre as Roland in Jules Massenet's "Esclarmonde".  He left Lyon in 1893 to join the roster of principal artists at the Paris Opera where he remained for the rest of his career.  He made his debut in Paris in the title role of Giuseppe Verdi's "Rigoletto".  He continued to perform with that company up until his death.

Emma Nevada: Emma Nevada (née Wixom) (7 February 1859 – 20 June 1940) was an American operatic soprano particularly known for her performances in operas by Bellini and Donizetti and the French composers Ambroise Thomas, Charles Gounod, and Léo Delibes.  Considered one of the finest coloratura sopranos of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, her most famous roles were Amina in "La sonnambula", and the title roles in "Lakmé", "Mignon", "Mireille", and "Lucia di Lammermoor.

Lalla Miranda: Lalla Miranda (1874-1944) was an Australian coloratura soprano who was primarily active in Belgium, France, and Great Britain.  Born in Melbourne, she was the daughter of opera singers David Miranda and Annetta Hirst and the older sister of opera singer Beatrice Miranda.  After studies in London and Paris, she made her professional opera debut in The Hague in 1898.  She then appeared in numerous operas in Amsterdam in successive years.  In 1899 she was a resident artist at La Monnaie.  She made several appearances at the Palais Garnier in Paris and at theatres in the French Provences during the first two decades of the 20th century.  In 1900-1901 and from 1907-1911 she was committed the Royal Opera House on London.  In 1910 she was committed to both the Manhattan Opera Company and the Philadelphia Opera Company.  She notably opened the 1910 season at the Manhattan Opera House in the title role of Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammermoor", a role for which she was famous.  In New York and Philadelphia she also sang Gilda in "Rigoletto", Olympia in "The Tales of Hoffmann", and the title role in "Lakmé".  After 1918 she was primarily active with the Carl Rosa Opera Company.  She retired in the early 1920s.  She made only a few recordings on the Pathé Records label.

Médée (Cherubini): Médée is a French language opéra-comique by Luigi Cherubini.

Rita (opera): In 1841, while Donizetti was in Paris waiting for the libretto to be completed for a commission by La Scala, he had a chance encounter with Gustave Vaëz, who had co-written the libretti for two of his earlier operas, "Lucie de Lammermoor" (the French version of "Lucia di Lammermoor") and "La favorite".  He asked Vaëz if he could provide a libretto for a short opera to keep him busy while waiting for the La Scala project to advance.  Vaëz quickly created "Deux hommes et une femme" ("Two Men and a Woman"), a comic piece in one act consisting of eight musical numbers connected by spoken dialogue.  According to Vaëz, Donizetti completed the score in eight days.  However, the Opéra-Comique rejected it and Donizetti then had the libretto translated into Italian for an intended performance at the Teatro del Fondo in Naples.  Following the death of the Teatro del Fondo's impresario, Domenico Barbaja, the Naples performance fell through.  The score, still unperformed, was found in Donizetti's effects when he died in 1848.

Longformacus: Longformacus (Scottish Gaelic: "Longphort Mhacais" ) is a small village in Berwickshire in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland.  It is around 10 km north-west of Duns, in the Lammermuir Hills.  The Dye Water runs through the village, flowing east towards its confluence with the Whiteadder Water nearby.  The opera "Lucia di Lammermoor", written by Gaetano Donizetti and based on Sir Walter Scott's "The Bride of Lammermoor", was set in Longformacus.

Harolyn Blackwell: Harolyn Blackwell (born November 23, 1955) is an American lyric coloratura soprano who has performed in many of the world's finest opera houses, concert halls, and theaters in operas, oratorios, recitals, and Broadway musicals.  Initially known for her work within musical theater during the early 1980s, Blackwell moved into the field of opera and by 1987 had established herself as an artist within the soubrette repertoire in many major opera houses both in the United States and in Europe.  Feeling that she was being "type cast" into one particular kind of role, Blackwell strove to establish herself within the lyric coloratura repertoire beginning in the mid-1990s.  With the aid of such companies as Seattle Opera, Blackwell successfully made this move and is now an interpreter of such roles as Lucia in Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammermoor" and Olympia in Offenbach's "Les contes d'Hoffman".  She has also periodically returned to musical theater performances throughout her career in staged productions, concert work, and recitals.  Blackwell is known for her interpretations and recordings of the works of Leonard Bernstein.

Gustave Vaëz: Jean-Nicolas-Gustave Van Nieuwen-Huysen (known as Gustave Vaëz) (6 December 1812 – 12 March 1862) was a Belgian playwright, librettist and translator of opera librettos.  Born in Brussels, he studied law and earned a doctorate at the State University of Leuven.  Since he had no desire to work as a lawyer, he devoted himself to a career as a playwright.  He published a large number of plays.  His first plays were staged from 1829 to 1834 in Brussels, which he left for Paris to work with librettist Alphonse Royer.  Operas where Vaëz was involved as a librettist and translator are "Lucia di Lammermoor" (1839), "La favorite" and "Rita, ou Le mari battu" by Gaetano Donizetti (1840), and "Jérusalem" by Giuseppe Verdi.  He died in Paris on 12 March 1862.

Lucia di Lammermoor: Lucia di Lammermoor is a "dramma tragico" (tragic opera) in three acts by Gaetano Donizetti.  Salvadore Cammarano wrote the Italian-language libretto loosely based upon Sir Walter Scott's historical novel "The Bride of Lammermoor".

The Bride of Lammermoor: The Bride of Lammermoor is an historical novel by Sir Walter Scott, published in 1819.  The novel is set in the Lammermuir Hills of south-east Scotland, and tells of a tragic love affair between young Lucy Ashton and her family's enemy Edgar Ravenswood.  Scott indicated the plot was based on an actual incident.  "The Bride of Lammermoor" and "A Legend of Montrose" were published together as the third of Scott's "Tales of My Landlord" series.  As with all the Waverley Novels, "The Bride of Lammermuir" was published anonymously.  The novel claims that the story was an oral tradition, collected by one "Peter Pattieson", and subsequently published by "Jedediah Cleishbotham".  The 1830 "Waverley edition" includes an introduction by Scott, discussing his actual sources.  The later edition also changes the date of the events: the first edition sets the story in the 17th century; the 1830 edition sets it in the reign of Queen Anne, after the 1707 Acts of Union which joined Scotland and England.  The story is the basis for Donizetti's 1835 opera "Lucia di Lammermoor".
