Dimitra Theodossiou (Elisabetta), Andrew Schroeder (Duca di Nottingham), Federica Bragaglia (Sara), Massimiliano Pisapia (Roberto Devereux), Luigi Albani (Lord Cecil), Giorgio Valerio (Sir Gualtiero Raleigh) Orchestra and Chorus of the Bergamo Musica Festival, Marcello Rota One of Donizetti’s most emotionally raw operas, Roberto Devereux ossia Il conte di Essex was also the third to be loosely based on episodes in the life of Queen Elizabeth I. It deals with the love of Elizabeth and her favourite, the Earl of Essex, perhaps most tellingly expressed in the Act I duet, ‘Nascondi, frena i palpiti, o misero mio core’ /’ Hide, hold back your palpitation, oh my wretched heart!’ Elizabeth’s subsequent abdication is, however, a matter of dramatic licence, yet provides a memorable operatic conclusion to this tragedy of love and jealousy as she despairs at the death of her lover – ‘Quel sangue versato al ciel s’innalza’ (‘The blood that is spilt rises up to Heaven’). This inaugural production of the Bergamo Music Festival 2006 features the Greek soprano and leading Donizetti specialist, Dimitra Theodossiou, and the young American baritone Andrew Schroeder, both in superb voice. | | | (also available to download from $11.25) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
