About

Roberto Devereux is the fourth and finest of Donizetti's works dedicated to the Tudor period of English history, and is considered by many to be the ultimate masterpiece amongst his Italian operas. The tragic narrative is a tale of intrigue and vengeance in the court of the elderly and weary Queen Elisabeth I, with Donizetti's powerful score expressing all of the intense drama and sorrowful emotion demanded by the opera's finely etched characters. This star-studded Donizetti Opera Festival production received wide critical acclaim.

Critic reviews

  • “John Osborn’s tenor is stylish as ever… The dramatic Raffaella Lupinacci makes much of Sara, with smooth cantilena and some exciting vocal explosions, and Simone Piazzola’s suave Nottingham matches her.”
