\ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udde7 <\/strong>Riccardo Frizza <\/strong>returns to the Teatro di San Carlo<\/strong> to conduct Roberto Devereux<\/em><\/strong>, the final chapter in the Donizetti cycle dedicated to the Tudor Queens which began in 2023. Having been a central figure in the project from the start, he now brings it to its conclusion on the Neapolitan stage on 16, 19 and 22 July<\/strong>.
The Maestro shares his thoughts on the opera:

\u00abRoberto Devereux<\/em>, composed in Naples ‘in the time of cholera’ in 1837, intensifies and sums up the trilogy that Donizetti devoted to the Tudor queens (prior to it came Anna Bolena<\/em> and Maria Stuarda<\/em>), and in many ways the whole compositional style of this son of Bergamo. It also left an indelible mark on his personal life which, as we know, was not the happiest. In that year, which represented a watershed moment, he lost his beloved Virginia and their newborn child and, against a backdrop of utter grief (‘I will be unhappy forever’, he wrote in a letter to his brother-in-law), the success of Devereux<\/em> at the Teatro San Carlo on 28th October brought him satisfaction and acted as a lifeline. The Neapolitan audience immediately fell in love with the opera, appreciating the libretto too, to the extent that the accomplished Cammarano took his curtain call alongside the composer and the musicians. The work\u2019s success continued more or less throughout the 1800s but it was the Donizetti Renaissance of the 1900s that gave the opera its permanent place in the repertoire, making it a cornerstone of romantic opera and a port of call for the vocal and theatrical virtuosity of any prima donna called on to sing the arduous role of Elisabetta. From Giuseppina Ronzi De Begnis, who was the first to interpret her, until today, the most magnificent Belcanto singers have put themselves to the test in the role as this figure, so modern, full of chiaroscuro contrast, tormented within, a woman and a queen, a mighty Donizetti character.The boldness of the score is no less striking. Donizetti matched the urgent pace imposed by the action on stage. Subsequently, upon the work\u2019s revival at the Th\u00e9atre Italien in Paris in 1838, he rewrote only the very short initial prelude, making it truly symphonic in nature (one of his most beautiful, effective compositions, which we have chosen to perform here in Naples).I consider it a great privilege to be conducting Roberto Devereux<\/em> yet again, this time in the city where Donizetti has left his mark in countless ways, starting with the actual manuscript of this opera, preserved at the Library of the Conservatorio di San Pietro a Majella. For the same reason, I am grateful to the San Carlo for having allowed me to present the full Tudor Trilogy here in Naples between 2023 and today.\u00bb<\/td><\/tr>

\ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddf9 <\/strong>Riccardo Frizza<\/strong> torna al Teatro di San Carlo<\/strong> per dirigere Roberto Devereux<\/em><\/strong>, ultima tappa del ciclo donizettiano avviato nel 2023 e dedicato alle Regine Tudor: un progetto che lo ha visto protagonista sin dall\u2019inizio e che giunge ora al suo compimento sul palcoscenico napoletano il 16, 19 <\/strong>e 22 luglio<\/strong>. Il Maestro dice di quest’opera:

\u00abRoberto Devereux<\/em>, composto a Napoli \u201cai tempi del colera\u201d del 1837, esalta e compendia la trilogia che Donizetti compose sulle regine Tudor (prima c\u2019erano state Anna Bolena<\/em> e Maria Stuarda<\/em>), per tanti versi lo stesso stile compositivo del Bergamasco, segnandone irrimediabilmente anche la vita personale che, come sappiamo, non fu tra le pi\u00f9 felici. In quell\u2019anno di svolta, perse la sua amata Virginia e il loro bimbo neonato e, in uno stato di assoluta prostrazione (\u201cIo sar\u00f2 infelice eternamente\u201d, aveva scritto in una lettera al cognato) il successo riscosso al San Carlo il 28 ottobre dal Devereux fu una soddisfazione e un\u2019\u00e0ncora. Il pubblico napoletano am\u00f2 subito quell\u2019opera, apprezzandone anche il libretto, al punto che il bravo Cammarano venne chiamato alla ribalta insieme al compositore e agli interpreti. Il successo continu\u00f2 un po\u2019 per tutto l\u2019Ottocento ma \u00e8 stata la Renaissance novecentesca di Donizetti ad imporre definitivamente l\u2019opera nel repertorio, facendone un cardine della drammaturgia romantica e un approdo per il virtuosismo vocale e attoriale della primadonna chiamata a cantare l\u2019impervia parte di Elisabetta: da Giuseppina Ronzi De Begnis che la interpret\u00f2 per prima, fino ad oggi, le pi\u00f9 superbe belcantiste si cimentano con quella figura cos\u00ec moderna, piena di chiaroscuri, dilaniata interiormente, femmina e regina, donizettiana all\u2019ennesima potenza.L\u2019audacia della partitura non \u00e8 da meno. Donizetti assecond\u00f2 il ritmo scenico stringente, mettendo mano successivamente solo al brevissimo preludio iniziale per farne una Sinfonia vera e propria in occasione della ripresa al Th\u00e9\u00e2tre Italien di Parigi del 1838 (peraltro, componendo cos\u00ec una delle sue pi\u00f9 belle e riuscite che abbiamo scelto di eseguire qui a Napoli).Considero un grande onore dirigere proprio al Teatro di San Carlo questo mio ennesimo Roberto Devereux<\/em>, nella citt\u00e0 dove le tracce del passaggio del Bergamasco sono innumerevoli, a partire proprio dal manoscritto di quest\u2019opera che \u00e8 custodito nella Biblioteca del Conservatorio di San Pietro a Majella. Per gli stessi motivi, sono grato al Massimo napoletano per avere potuto presentare qui, dal 2023 ad oggi, l\u2019intera Trilogia Tudor\u00bb.<\/em><\/td><\/tr>
