Welsh National Opera

Elizabeth I may rule the world but she does not rule her own heart. When her favourite, Robert Devereux, the Earl of Essex, is threatened with charges of treason she strives to save him. Should he ever be arrested he simply has to present her ring to ensure his freedom.

The public and the private clash with fatal consequences in the trilogy’s final instalment as Elizabeth’s grip on the throne begins to loosen. Roberto Devereux is an explosive operatic drama that enthrals throughout, culminating in a shattering finale.
