Gaetano Donizetti: Maria Stuarda

"Maria Stuarda" -- Gaetano Donizetti's tragic two-act opera based on Mary, Queen of Scots (soprano Mariella Devia), and her cousin Queen Elizabeth II (soprano Anna Caterina Antonacci) -- comes to stunning life in this 2008 production. With sets, costumes and direction by the renowned Pier Luigi Pizzi, the performance unfolds beneath the baton of Antonino Fogliani, conducting the Orchestra and Chorus of the Teatro alla Scalla.
