 | | Sarah, Duchess of Nottingham, is in love with Devereux, and he loves her, but Elizabeth also loves Devereux, and the plot revolves around the jealousy and anxieties of these three and the Duke of Nottingham, Sarah's husband and Devereux's friend. |
 | | Roberto Devereux was composed in the summer of 1837, the year, according to biographers, in which Donizetti seems to have suffered most, having lost his third son and his adored wife Virginia Vasselli. |
 | | Roberto Devereux is considered by some authorities the finest of Donizetti's tragic operas (I think that's a bit of a stretch - there is still Lucia, with more imaginative melodic invention). |
