ROBERTO DEVEREUX Prod. Trailer - Fall 2018

The only thing keeping Roberto Devereux alive is the love of the Queen of England, Elizabeth I. She refuses to sign his death warrant. But a slip of the tongue has threatened to leave Roberto without any protections whatsoever.

Finally alone with the one she loves, Elizabeth I muses tender-heartedly about the time she and Roberto spent together — and the promises she made to keep him safe. But all Roberto can offer in return are vague, stiff promises of obedience and valor. It's hardly the romantic response she expected. So Elizabeth continues to press him: Who does your heart beat for? And that's when Roberto makes the fatal mistake, revealing that he does indeed feel love — for someone else.

In the duet "Nascondi, frena i palpiti," the queen starts to boil into rage. If Elizabeth cannot have Roberto's heart, no one will.

"Un lampo, un lampo orribile agli occhi miei splendea! No, dal mio sdegno vindice fuggir non può la rea. Morrà l'infido, il perfido, morrà di morte acerba, e la rival superba punita in lui sarà," Elizabeth sings, twitching in anger. "A flash, a horrible flash shines in my eyes! No, this crime shall not escape my vengeful indignation. He shall die, the treacherous one. He shall die a bitter death, and my proud rival will be punished through him."

Roberto, meanwhile, attempts to regain his composure. But he can see Elizabeth's rage, and he prays he will be its only victim.

"Nascondi e frena i palpiti o misero mio core. Ti pasci sol di lacrime o sventurato amore! Ch'io cada solo vittima del suo fatal sospetto. Con me l'arcano affetto e morte, e tomba avrà," Roberto sings in an aside. "Hide and stop your fluttering, my miserable heart. You feed yourself with tears, o unfortunate love! May I alone fall victim to her fatal suspicions. With me, my secret love finds both death and burial."
