Tudor History: Roberto Devereux

Roberto_Devereux_03.9Presented by Desirée Mays
Duration: 1 hour

The last of Donizetti’s three “Tudor queen” operas, Roberto Devereux is loosely based on the story of Elizabeth I and Robert Devereux, a royal favorite who was executed for treason. Desirée Mays discusses the complex relationships of the central characters of this opera, which has its Met premiere as part of soprano Sondra Radvanovsky’s quest to perform all three Donizetti queens in one season. (The other two works, Anna Bolena and Maria Stuarda, will be presented in the fall and winter.)

Please note that Student pricing is available to full-time students with valid identification.

This session will be held in the Opera Learning Center, located on the 6th Floor of the Samuel B. and David Rose Building at Lincoln Center, 65th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue. For questions, please call the LCE Ticket Line at 212-769-7028, Monday-Friday 10am-4pm.
