The story about the love between Queen Elizabeth I and Robert Devereux, the Earl of Essex, forms the final piece of the so-called  Tudor trilogy by the Italian bel canto composer Gaetano Donizetti .

Roberto Devereux

National Opera & Ballet

Lost, confused, and frightened, Melisande is coerced into marrying the overbearing prince Golaud, and in her marital melancholy, the young bride grows close to her handsome brother-in-law, Pelleas. Golaud’s rage sets the stage for this timeless tale of forbidden love, family jealousy, and regret. Debussy’s luminous orchestrations propel the drama to ecstatic heights, the music a striking contrast to this lean new production by Dutch director Jetske Mijnssen.
