Donizetti: Maria Stuarda (DVD)

Gaetano Donizetti’s tragic opera *Maria Stuarda* depicts the relentless rivalry between Elizabeth I and Mary Stuart, the Queen of Scotland, who is portrayed as a martyr standing up to the illegitimate Queen of England. The opera fell victim to censorship at its premiere and was plagued by problems during rehearsals, but is now considered one of Donizetti’s great operatic masterpieces. From the extravagant, lyrical confrontations between the queens to the poignant final scene of the execution, this highly acclaimed production by David McVicar captivates with its monumental sets and magnificent Elizabethan costumes, which bring to life the majesty and unflinching brutality of Elizabeth I’s reign. Director David McVicar has amassed an enviable string of acclaimed opera productions in recent years, including an earlier production of “Maria Stuarda” at the Metropolitan Opera in 2013. His production at the Teatro Real explores the dangers and tensions faced by women in a male-dominated political world—a historical context that remains relevant today. For this production of Donizetti’s masterpiece, the Teatro Real presents an outstanding cast under the baton of Jose Miguel Perez-Sierra. American soprano Lisette Oropesa, who was named “Female Performer of the Year” at the 2024 International Opera Awards, sings the title role. /// Pridajte tento výnimočný kúsok do svojej audio zbierky.
