On February 6, the Metropolitan Opera will air its first-ever “Listeners’ Choice” broadcast, a historic performance chosen by radio listeners from around the world — Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor starring Maria Callas. This performance, from December 8, 1956, is the renowned soprano’s only Met radio broadcast. She portrayed the tragic heroine who comes undone in one of opera’s most famous mad scenes.
