Summary
Soprano Sondra Radvanovsly completes her season-long exploration of Donizetti's three Tudor queen operas, starring as Elizabeth I in this final installment. David McVicar's atmospheric Met premiere production frames the dramatic and heart-rending love story of the queen and the Earl of Essex as a play within a play unfolding before the members of the royal court. Radvanovsky's portrayal of the aging monarch is a tour de force, laying bare the conflict between her public duties as ruler of England and her private feeling as a woman. Matthew Polenzani is the Earl of Essex, Roberto Devereux, the object of her affections who is torn between two women. Elīna Garanča as Sarah and Mariusz Kwiecien as her husband, the Duke of Nottingham, complete the quartet of principals. Maurizio Benini conducts.

Introduction by Deborah Voigt
Overture
Geme!...pallor funereo
Duchessa alle fervide preci
Nunzio son del Parlamento
Donna reale a' piedi tuoi
Un lampo orribile
Roberto...Che! fra le tue braccia!
Forse in quel cor sensibile
Duca, vieni a conferenza
Tutto è silenzio!
Il vero intesi?...Ah! parmi, parmi sognar!
E quando fuggirai
L'ore trascorrono
Ebben?...Del reo le sorti furo alungo agitate
Ecco l'indegno! Appressati
Scellerato! malvagio! malvagio!
Introduction to Act III by Deborah Voigt
Né riede il mio consorte!
Non rimbomba un suon ferale?
Ed ancor la tremenda porta
Odio un suon per l'aria cieca
E Sara in questi orribili momenti
Vivi ingrato a lei d'accanto
Che m'apporti?
Quel sangue versato al cielo s'innalza
