Maria Stuarda

Sangpræstationerne er i centrum i dronningedrama om passion, magt og mord
 
Maria Stuarda er en vild, virtuos sangerduel mellem to divaer, der elsker den samme mand. Det er bel canto for fuld udblæsning. Den engelske dronning får ingen ro, før hendes skotske rivals hoved er skilt fra kroppen.

Maria Stuarda er en funklende perle i Donizettis række af operaer om Tudor-perioden i England. Den bygger på Friedrich Schillers Maria Stuart-drama, der blander historiske begivenheder med en fiktiv konfrontation mellem to lige stærke kvindeskikkelser: Den protestantiske dronning Elizabeth I og hendes katolske kusine Maria Stuart, dronning af Skotland.  

Kærlighedsforholdet mellem Maria Stuart og jarlen af Leicester er et oplagt emne til en romantisk opera. Der ligger en tragisk ironi i, at det netop er jarlens forbøn for Maria Stuart, der udløser Dronning Elizabeths fatale dødsdom over ærkerivalen.

Det historiske trekantsdrama udspiller sig i en malerisk scenografi med elegante periodekostumer skabt af scenograf og kostumedesigner Julia Hansen til Mariame Cléments iscenesættelse.

Elisabeth Jansson og Gisela Stille fra Den Kongelige Operas solistensemble kan opleves i de to krævende dronningeroller. Med den prisvindende mexicansk-amerikanske tenor Galeano Salas som manden i midten kan det kun blive en sangerfest.

Maria Stuarda synges på italiensk med danske og engelske overtekster.

I samarbejde med Grand Théâtre de Genève.

Anbefalet fra 12 år

The vocals command the spotlight in this majestic drama centred on passion, power and murder.

Maria Stuarda presents a fierce and virtuosic vocal duel between two divas vying for the love of the same man, epitomising bel canto at its finest. The Queen of England finds no peace until the head of her Scottish rival is severed from her body.

Maria Stuarda shines as a dazzling gem in Donizetti's collection of operas about the Tudor period in England. Based on Friedrich Schiller's drama Maria Stuart, the opera intertwines historical events and a fictional confrontation between two equally formidable women: The Protestant Queen Elizabeth I and her Catholic cousin, Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots.

The love affair between Mary Stuart and the Earl of Leicester provides the ideal theme for a romantic opera. Tragically ironic, it is the earl's plea on behalf of Mary Stuart that incites Queen Elizabeth to issue the fatal death sentence for her arch-rival.

This historical love triangle unfolds in a painterly set design with elegant period costumes created by set and costume designer Julia Hansen for Mariame Clément's production.

Elisabeth Jansson and Gisela Stille from the Royal Danish Opera's soloist ensemble take on the challenging roles of the two queens. Featuring the award-winning Mexican-American tenor Galeano Salas in the pivotal role, this production promises a spectacular vocal celebration.

Maria Stuarda is performed in Italian with Danish and English supertitles.

In collaboration with the Grand Théâtre de Genève.

The Royal Danish Theatre extends its gratitude to the Foundation Juchum for their support in staging Maria Stuarda.

Recommended for ages 12 and up.
