Maria Stuarda by Donizetti, dom. 22 sep 2013, De (2013/2013), Dirigido por Rudolf Frey, Director Graeme Jenkins, Robin Newton, Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff, Reino Unido

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.
