Elizabeth is holding the Queen of Scotland, Mary, but postponing her execution because she knows it would make even more enemies for England. The Earl of Leicester, whom Elizabeth is still in love with, is trying to pardon her new lady, Mary. This infuriates the Queen of England so much that she immediately signs the death sentence.

Interestingly, the two protagonists of the premiere could not stand each other, one of the reasons being that they were competing for the favors of a composer already celebrated at the time. In one of the rehearsals, the singer who played Elizabeth began to tug at her colleague by her hair, which she retaliated with a well-aimed punch of fists. This moment seemed an exaggeration even if it happened at the right dramaturgical point, namely where Elizabeth and Mary despise each other.

The troubles were compounded by the fact that intensive censorship in Italy also had a say in the libretto. Eventually, the King of Naples himself banned the play because he considered the brushing of abuse of power unacceptable. Thirty years later, after the moods subsided, they finally took out the original version.

Donizetti’s opera is relatively rarely performed, but the opera willow about the Tudor queens ( Maria Stuarda, Anna Bolena, Roberto Devereux ) was recently performed with great success by the Metropolitan Opera.
