Teatro Donizetti

This was grand opera at its best, and a lavish historical production: Roberto Devereux by Gaetano Donizetti, staged by Francesco Bellotto at the Teatro Donizetti in Bergamo, Italy, in 2006 (sung in Italian). The singers were Dimitra Theodossiou, Andrew Schroeder, Federica Bragaglia, Massimiliano Pisapia, Luigi Albani and Giorgio Valerio. It was performed by the Orchestra and Chorus Bergamo Musica Festival Gaetano Donizetti, and conducted by Marcello Rota.

The more than 70 operas written by Gaetano Donizetti (1797 - 1848), are evidence of the fact that the Italian opera composer had a special fondness for the Tudor period of the legendary Queen Elizabeth I. Donizetti dedicated several operas to this historical era. In the three-act opera seria Roberto Devereux, titled Tragedia lirica, the historical setting frames a story of secret love and betrayal. Of all people, it is Elizabeth I’s beloved Roberto Devereux who commits treason, so the queen feels compelled to order his execution. She also comes to realize that Devereux had secretly loved someone else. At the end of all the entanglements, the once proud queen collapses, abdicates the throne and thus ends the reign of the House of Tudor.

The libretto for Roberto Devereux was written by Salvatore Cammarano. The premiere of the tragic opera took place in 1837 at the Teatro San Carlo. The various roles in Roberto Devereux place high demands on the singers, with the role of Elisabeth being one of the great challenges in the bel canto repertoire. Roberto Devereux contains some of Donizetti’s most popular arias. No wonder, then, that the audience loved this performance of the challenging opera.
