A Semi-Staged Concert Starring Sondra Radvanovsky
The Three Queens
Featuring the finales of Anna Bolena, Maria Stuarda, and Roberto Devereux by Gaetano Donizetti.
Three of the most extraordinary women in history grace Donizetti’s
“Three Queens” trilogy: proud Mary Stuart, passionate Anne Boleyn, and
mighty Queen Elizabeth I. Each is a stupendous role for a true singing
actress, who must combine glorious sound with masterful technique and
incomparable charisma. Lyric favorite Sondra Radvanovsky is one of the
very few singers of our time to have commanded all three of these roles
in a single season, which brought her ecstatic praise from critics and
audiences internationally.
Singing the finales of Anna Bolena, Maria Stuarda, and Roberto Devereux
in semi-staged performances featuring the Lyric Opera Orchestra and
Chorus and artists of The Patrick G. and Shirley W. Ryan Opera Center
Ensemble, this magnificent American diva will give Lyric audiences vocal
fireworks to remember forever.
