Overview

In it's original form, Maria di Rohan was without doubt the most audacious result - pre-Verdi - of aesthetic transformation beyond the courtly dramas of "long Italian classicism". The opera's intrigue develops like an unstoppable machine: the fatal triangle formed by Maria, Chalais and Chevreuse being the work of Richelieu's absolute power (despite never appearing on stage). Like trapped animals, the characters hopelessly search for a way out, and they devour each other in turn. Recorded at the Bergamo Donizetti Festival, October 2011, this is the first DVD release of Donizetti's 1843 opera.
