Summary: The ill-fated Queen of Scots has always exerted a powerful fascination : she has appeared on stage, film, and television and in countless novels and biographies. Donizetti's opera offers a great singing actress untold opportunities. Mary portrays a memorable range of human emotion in the scenes leading to her execution - optimism, regret, love, remorse, despair and, in the climatic scene of the fictious encounter with her persecutor, Elizabeth I, the royal pride and defiance that are her undoing.
"Donizetti's opera as staged for Dame Baker's farewell to the London opera."
