Elizabeth I has been the Virgin Queen too long. Her looks are fading. She relishes the attention of a younger courtier: the ambitious Roberto Devereux.
But Devereux stands accused of treason. Elizabeth must choose between her country and her heart.
This tale of love, lust and betrayal in the Tudor royal courts strays a long way from history but makes a sensational plot.
After the success of Maria Stuarda in Concert in 2022, Donizetti’s Tudor queens return with these concert performances of Roberto Devereux.
Led by Conductor Andrea Sanguineti, Donizetti’s luxurious music becomes a must-see performance.
