Salvadore Cammarano wrote the Italian libretto after François Ancelot's tragedy Elisabeth d'Angleterre (1829), and based as well on the Historie secrete des amours d'Elisabeth et du comte d'Essex (1787) by Jacques Lescène des Maisons. Devereux was the subject of at least two other French plays: Le Comte d'Essex by Thomas Corneille and Le Comte d'Essex by Gauthier de Costes, seigneur de la Calprenède. The opera is loosely based on the life of Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, an influential member of the court of Queen Elizabeth I of England. The plot of Roberto Devereux was hardly original, mainly derived from Felice Romani's libretto Il Conte d'Essex of 1833, originally set by Saverio Mercadante. Romani's widow charged Cammarano with plagiarism; the practice of stealing plots was very common between rival Italian opera houses. It is one of a number of operas by Donizetti which deal with the Tudor period of English history and which include Anna Bolena (Henry VIII's second wife, Anne Boleyn), Maria Stuarda (Mary, Queen of Scots) and Il castello di Kenilworth. The lead female characters -Anna Bolena, Maria Stuarda, and Elisabetta herself have been referred to as the "Three Donizetti Queens." They became popular in the 1970s, when the American soprano Beverly Sills promoted them as a series at New York City Opera. It has been said that, "although the plot plays fast and loose with history, the opera carries its own brand of dramatic conviction". /// Label: Nightingale Classics – NC 070563-2 Format: 2 x CD, Box Set Country: Austria Released: 1994 Genre: Classical Style: Opera /// Tracklist: Erster Akt / Atto Primo / Act I / Premier Acte 1-1 Sinfonia Scene 1 1-2 Geme!...Pallor Funereo 1-3 All'afflitto è Dolce Il Pianto...

I can't recommend this more highly. She is emotionally involved in this often neglected opera which in my estimation is Donizetti's best of the three queen series.
