This video recording is one of the rare opportunities to see Donizetti's Roberto Devereux in a staged 
production with Elisabetta as portrayed by Nelly Miricioiu.
  
Following the Dutch Premier of Roberto Devereux at the Concertgebouw in 1994 the reviewer had observed the following about the performance and particularly the role of Elisabetta:

"To the extreme you need a diva like Nelly Miricioiu to breathe new life into the part, mostly because Donizetti has gone to the extreme in his musical portrait. The limitless tenderness of a vulnerable woman, who changes into a furious Queen when she feels deceived in love. Miricioiu also went to the extreme. She found the right balance between technical  accuracy and emotional surrender. Formidable. (Eddie Vetter 25th April 1994).

Another live performance of Roberto Devereux was recorded at the Royal Opera, Covent Garden, on July 8th 2001 (https://opera-rara.com)

But it was Miricioiu's opera, and ultimately her evening. Hers was the longest role and the most demanding, not merely in its manifold technical difficulties but in its range of mood - suspicion, hope, love, hate, joy, pride and finally a bitter, crazed fury. All of these require expression, both in the enunciation of Cammarano's text and in the vocalizing of Donizetti's taxing music. Even the greatest bel canto exponents might experience mishaps over such a long ordeal, but Miricioiu's diligent connection to words, music and meaning held out to the end in singing of outstanding consistency and command.
