    Houston Grand Opera (HGO) presents Mary Stuart, by Gaetano Donizetti.  Running Saturday April 21, 2012 - Friday May 4, 2012, in Wortham Theater Center - Brown Theater.  This story of regal cousins, Mary, Queen of Scots and Elizabeth I—rivals for the crown and the same nobleman’s love—delivers fascinating historical drama.

    Elizabeth has imprisoned Mary, suspecting her of treason, but the Duke of Leicester, her advisor and Mary’s lover, convinces the queen to meet her cousin; tempers soon surface and rage out of control. Mary, condemned to death, faces her demise with great dignity.

    Spectacular vocal fireworks and bel canto singing are hallmarks of Donizetti’s tragedy.

    Joyce DiDonato’s appearance is supported in part through the Lynn Wyatt Great Artist Fund. Scenery, properties and costumes for this production are owned by The Minnesota Opera, and were constructed by The Minnesota Opera Shops.

    Sung in Italian with English Surtitles.

    Running in rotating repertory with Don Carlos.
