(The Three Queens: Excerpts From The Donizetti Trilogy As Sung By Beverly Sills)

Today we are listening to Roberto Devereux (the final of the Tudor Trilogy) where Queen Elizabeth I is forced to sign the death warrant of the man she loves, Roberto Devereux.

After great success with the “Three Queens”, Donizetti’s operas were shelved until the revival of bel canto music in the mid 20th century. Since then, several women are known for their interpretation of all three queens, including Leyla Gencer, Montserrat Caballé, Mariella Devia (an extraordinary Italian bel canto specialist), Sondra Radvanovsky, but above all “America’s Queen of Opera”, Bubbles herself, Beverly Sills.
