Elizabeth I (Elisabetta, regina d'inghilterra) shows the woman behind
the monarch. She had the reputation of a queen who ruled with her
head and silenced her heart – but writers and composers remain
fascinated with her private life, in particular the rivalry with her cousin
Mary Queen of Scots. Rossini’s opera contrasts the private and public
spheres of her life, sparkling with vocal fireworks which culminate in a
virtuosic showdown between the virgin queen, her councillor, her lover
and his wife.
The production, featuring Mary Plazas in the title role, is directed by
ETO’s General Director James Conway and is the first fully staged
professional production of Rossini’s opera to tour the UK.
Sung in Italian with English surtitles.
