"For Lucia di Lammermoor, director Catherine Malfitano and designer Wilson Chin offered consistantly striking images. Chin's solution for the Wolf's Crag scene, a rounded tower with slit windows, proved unusually effective and revolved neatly to provide a splendid, light-focusing "scary staircase" playing area for the mad scene." – David Shengold, Opera News

"There are some striking aspects of Wilson Chin's scenery, such as a rotating tower and a backdrop with silhouetted trees.... A castle tower at the back of the stage slowly rotates and fills with light, dramatically revealing the blood-stained Lucia." – Kyle MacMillan, Denver Post
