Maria und Elisabetta: Zwei Königinnen kämpfen um die Macht und um die Liebe. Zwischen ihnen steht Graf Leicester, Elisabettas Liebhaber, der sich zu Maria hingezogen fühlt. Im Park von Schloss Fotheringhay treffen die beiden Frauen aufeinander – ein Zweikampf der Gefühle, ausgetragen mit den Waffen des Belcanto, Koloraturen auf des Messers Schneide. Die Katholikin Maria wird am Ende erhobenen Hauptes das Schafott besteigen, die Protestantin Elisabetta den Thron behalten, doch die Liebe verlieren.

Deutsch

Maria and Elisabetta: two queens fight for power and love. Between them stands Count Leicester, Elisabetta's lover, who is attracted to Maria. The two women meet in the park of Fotheringhay Castle - a duel of emotions, fought with the weapons of bel canto, coloratura on a knife's edge. In the end, the Catholic Maria will ascend the scaffold with her head held high, while the Protestant Elisabetta will keep her throne but lose her love.

Mary Stuart by Donizetti, From (2025/2025), Directed by Karin Beier,, Conductor Antonino Fogliani, Staatsoper, Hamburg, Germany
