Gaetano Donizetti made the confrontation between Maria Stuart and Elizabeth I the centerpiece of his opera (premiere Protected content opponents hurled accusations and insults in their faces. In Donizetti's opera, the dispute between the two soprano divas is sparked not only by their respective claims to the English royal throne, but also by a mutual lover, the Count of Leicester. When he asks for mercy for the Scottish queen, Elizabeth I believes the man she loves has betrayed herself and orders Maria Stuart's execution.

Director David Alden, presented himself with his production at the Zurich Opera House for the 1st time, encountered Donizetti's opera, geared towards spectacular singing roles, with a scenic aplomb, large-format pictures and sumptuous furnishings.
