  MARIA STUARDA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Maria Stuarda and Roberto Devereux, as well as being commissioned for the same theatre, shared the same prima donna, the highly temperamental Giuseppina Ronzi di Begnis who became a veritable institution in Italy during the 1830s, thanks partly to the premature death of Maria Malibrán in 1836 and the rapid deterioration of Giuditta Pasta’s voice.
Maria Stuarda, on the other hand, follows the opposite evolution, moving from the D flat of the cavatina and the first duet to a clear D major in the last cabaletta, as though at this point she were truly the only sovereign.
Maria Stuarda appears in the second scene and is ceremoniously preceded by an orchestral introduction evoking a wooded setting which is pleasant, despite her imprisonment.

The Stuart lineage began in a family of hereditary stewards of Scotland, the earliest of whom was Walter (d.
Several early Stuarts were regents of Scotland, and after Robert, seventh in the hereditary line of stewards, became king as Robert II (1371), the crown remained in the family succession.
The parliamentary rule of succession was adopted because the claim to the throne of the Roman Catholic James II and his descendants, James Francis Edward Stuart (the Old Pretender), Charles Edward Stuart (the Young Pretender), and Henry Stuart (Cardinal York), was upheld by the Jacobites.

 village voice > theater > Maria Stuart by Friedrich von Schiller by Alisa Solomon
Maria inhabits an austere space of fl-and-gray, where she is attended by her nurse and perpetually observed by a silent, seated guard.
Maria seals her fate in that outburst, yet celebrates it as the key to her liberation with gleeful laughs and a lusty roll on the ground.
Elisabet, for her part, is left to sign Maria's death warrant, a duty that disturbs both her confidence in public support (even monarchs must keep an eye on the polls) and her conscience: As Maria's death is assured and Elisabet's power solidified, the English queen feels increasingly restricted.

Stuart has a long career in viticulture and wine management, both from the vineyard perspective as well as the marketing perspective.
Villa Maria wines has chosen to use Stelvin closures (screwcaps) on all of their wines to eliminate the possibility of corktaint, and to insure that the wines are as the winemakers intended - preserving the freshness and expression of fruit.
Stuart taught me the neat trick of how to properly open a screwtop bottle at tableside, so I hope he'll have a chance to explain that to everyone here as well.

 Friedrich Schiller's MARY STUART
Elisabeth suffers under a definition ex negativo: we evaluate her in terms of fate and demise of Maria Stuart and hardly ever in terms of her own problematic character, her merciless Puritan upbringing, and her lonely role as execution of the will of both the English parliament and the people.
The main political difference is that Maria misuses the Scottish parliament which she forces to acknowledge a murderer as her husband, whereas Elisabeth uses the law of England and the will of the people to get rid of Maria.
Maria Stuart is both the unfortunate Catholic queen and the representative of anarchic lawlessness, and Elisabeth is both the unfortunate Protestant queen and the representative of merciless legality.

 Show Business Weekly: Review: Maria Stuart   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Friedrich von Schiller’s emotional chess match, Maria Stuart, is perfect fodder for Ingmar Bergman and the Dramaten, the Royal Dramatic Theatre of Sweden.
For a performance by a company with this measure of clout, one would think that supertitles were in order, so as not to lose the beautiful cadences of the Swedish language, and not to miss the actors verbal energy, which in a play like this is more than half the performance.
Maria Stuart is a fantastic chance, though under less than ideal circumstances, to see Sweden’s powerhouse Dramaten, directed by a living legend of stage and screen, perform one of the most fascinating pieces in the international canon.

 Mieszkowski, 'Tragedy and the War of the Aesthetic' - _Schelling and Romanticism_ - Romantic Circles Praxis Series, ...
Delicately combining passion and intrigue, drive and whim, the play is an aesthete’s delight, the crowning triumph of an impulse that strives to articulate formal with psychological structures in a seamless union of the sensuous with the intelligible that confirms the vital integrity of dramatic production and its idealizing representation of a universal humanity.
The highpoint of Maria Stuart is neatly situated at the center of the middle act where the two protagonists, Mary and Elizabeth, confront one another in a duel of identity and difference.
One could object to this reading of Maria Stuart by arguing that within the broader designs of the play, the problems raised by Elizabeth’s interventions are wholly reincorporated into a psychological schema in which Mary’s revenge is all but complete.
