Act 1
Scene 1: The gardens of Lammermoor Castle

Normanno, captain of the castle guard, and other retainers are searching for an intruder. He tells Enrico that he believes that the man is Edgardo of Ravenswood, and that he comes to the castle to meet Enrico's sister, Lucia. It is confirmed that Edgardo is indeed the intruder. In the aria 'Cruda funesta smania' Enrico reaffirms his hatred for the Ravenswood family and his determination to end the relationship.
