Gaetano Donizetti: ROBERTO DEVEREUX.
Opera Roberto Devereux draws on the theme of English history and is the third opera portrait of Queen Elizabeth I. As the last living daughter of Henry VIII. and Anna Boleyn ascended the English throne in 1558. This prominent figure inspired Gaetano Donizetti for the first time in the opera Elisabetta all castello di Kenilworth, composed on the theme of Walter Scott, in the second musical - dramatic image of Elizabeth according to Schiller's drama confronts it with King Start of Scotland finally, in the third, in Robert Devereux, her dramatic relationship with the Earl of Essex is at the forefront. The score was born at a time of deep crisis in the composer, who lost both parents, the stillborn and the short-lived child, and finally his wife in a short period of time. The premiere took place on October 29, 1837 at the Teatro San Carlo in Naples with great success.

A year later, he prepared a modified version for the Théâtre Italien in Paris, in which the motif of the English anthem God Save the Queen sounds in the prelude. Like most of Belcant's serious operas, Roberto Devereux disappeared from the stage for a while and was not returned until a massive wave of their renaissance in the middle of the last century.
