Watching and listening to opera has always been a passion of mine, and it was wonderful discovering this lesser yet nonetheless electrifying Donizetti work. And who better to sing Queen Elizabeth than the late great Beverly Sills?
Roberto Devereux is not one of my absolute favourite Donizettis, my top 3 have always been Lucia Di Lammermoor, L'Elxir D'Amore and Don Pasquale. However it does move me greatly, and has typically beautiful music.
The story is similar to the Bette Davis film "Elizabeth and Essex" the love of the Queen with the captain Roberto Devereaux, who fired her jealousy when he took on a new love. He is executed in the end, though the Queen attempts to save him but fails.
