The production will be presented under the title ‘Maria Stuarda’ (Mary Stuart), a tragic opera in two acts, with music by Gaetano Donizetti (1797 – 1848), set to a libretto by Giuseppe Bardari, based on Andrea Maffei’s translation of Friedrich Schiller’s 1800 play Maria Stuart. The performance is meticulously crafted by the art group’s director Professor Lo King-man, who handpicked the most spectacular numbers and rearranged them into a series of dramatic singing scenes. The scenes are linked together with brief narratives spoken by an actor in the guise of the original author, Friedrich Schiller, who personally walks the audience through this story about the power struggle at the English imperial court
