Mary Stuart by Donizetti, fre. 13 sept. 2013, Fra (2013/2013), Instrueret af Rudolf Frey, Dirigent Graeme Jenkins, Robin Newton, Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff, United Kingdom

What would have happened had Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots met face to face? A thrilling imagining of this showdown is at the heart of this opera. Donizetti’s riveting opera transports you to a Britain at war with itself and overcome by uncertainty and strife. Rudolf Frey’s production shines a light on the striking parallels between the two heroines: the imprisoned Mary and Queen Elizabeth; a woman shackled by the demands of office.
