Roberto Devereux Donizetti

Visitors to the Tower of London will pass a complex labeled "Devereux Tower" on their tour. It is named after its most famous inmate, Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex, who was executed for treason on the orders of Elizabeth I in 1601. According to legend, the queen once gave her former favorite a ring as a token of love. If he ever found himself in danger, he should send this ring back to her. Devereux therefore had the ring delivered from the Tower to the Duchess of Nottingham, with the request that it be handed over to the Queen. But Nottingham kept the ring to himself and only told the story on his deathbed.

 

The librettist Salvatore Cammarano treated the real events fairly freely. However, Devereux's charge of high treason corresponds to the facts. Elisabeth is still holding a protective hand over him, but her insecurity is growing. She feels that he doesn't love her like he used to. And indeed, Devereux is having an affair with his best friend's wife, Sara Nottingham. If the queen found out, this would be the end of him...

 

The bel canto opera Roberto Devereux , premiered in Naples in 1837, is the last part of Donizetti's so-called Tudor trilogy. After the story of her parents was dealt with in Anna Bolena , the focus in Maria Stuarda  was on the dispute between the English Queen Elizabeth I and her Scottish rival. Roberto Devereux deals with the love story between Elizabeth and the Earl of Essex towards the end of her life.
