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).

  Roberto Devereux   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
Roberto is surprised by her openness and her tender feelings and, in this mood of familiarity, he lets slip that his feelings of affection are no longer for her but for another woman.
Roberto cannot, however, reciprocate the latter's avowals of friendship, as Sara has asked him to come and see her that very night, while her husband is in Parliament fighting for Roberto's cause.
Roberto, fearing for his life, sends a message to Sara telling her to take the ring to the Queen so that he might be pardoned at the last minute.

  Roberto Devereux
Devereux was the stepson of Queen Elizabeth’s dead favourite, the earl of Leicester: he was more like the queen’s wayward child than her tempestuous lover – the son she might have had, if she had been able to marry Leicester.
Devereux is no longer an unsuccessful warrior, or a conspirator who has staged an attempted coup to destroy his rivals at court and force the queen’s hand: he is a hero accused of treachery by his enemies for showing mercy to defeated rebels.
Roberto Devereux, written on the eve of the composer’s fortieth birthday, is the culmination of his Neapolitan career and, one might say, of his Italian period (the works he premiered later in the Italian peninsula were much less remark-able and innovative than those created in Paris and Vienna).

 Roberto Devereux on the Sensual Stage
Roberto Devereux, one of Donizetti’s mature works, written in 1837, was in the active repertory for more than twenty years after Donizetti’s death.
It is the task of this opera to persuade one that Elizabeth’s lonely time on the throne was salved by her love of Devereux, a handsome, chivalrous sort who was utterly unable to choose, due to his circumstance and through faults of his own.
Roberto Devereux was composed in 1837 by Gaetano Donizetti who lived from 1797 to 1848.

 Sabbatini Roberto Devereux Naples 1998
Roberto Devereux, perhaps the finest of Donizetti's tragic operas, was a moving experience on May 28 at the Teatro di San Carlo, where it was first staged in 1837 and first revived (with Leyla Gencer in the title role) in 1964.
As Roberto, Giuseppe Sabbatini brought an uncommon range of nuance to a role often assigned to lesser tenors, and his singing was as proudly aristocratic as his deportment.
Roberto Servile's baritone has become somewhat gruff in the middle register of late, but his telling diction and phrasing made him a convincing Nottingham, while Ildikó Komlósi proved vocally competent but emotionally anonymous as Sara, Pierre Lefèbvre feeble as Cecil.

''ROBERTO DEVEREUX,'' the 57th in Donizetti's near-nonstop outpouring of operas, re-emerged briefly in Newark Sunday night.
The production was by the New Jersey State Opera conducted by Alfredo Silipigni; the audience was a large and happy one, and Olivia Stapp, John Alexander, Judith Forst and Richard Fredricks did the best that their individual talents allowed to reproduce Donizetti's lyrical style.
''Roberto Devereux'' makes a passing swipe at English history, recounting the story of Elizabeth and Essex in terms of a fatally crossed love quadrangle.

 Donizetti - Three Queens (Anna Bolena ~ Maria Stuarda ~ Roberto Devereux) | Classical Music Online   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
The original project started off with Roberto Devereux--recorded in London in 1969--and continued until the summer 1972 recording of Anna Bolena, but this is the first time the old LPs have been made collectively available on CD in remastered format.
The challenges demanded by Donizetti's heavy writing for Elisabetta in Devereux can manifest as strain, but this part also registers Sills's vocal acting with a powerful punch: just listen to the range of emotional content she sails through in the scene of her conflicted first duet with Roberto, beginning with 'un tenero core' (Act I).
One of the joys here is zeroing in on your own favorite passage, scena, flicker of insight: perhaps it's Anna in prison, the outburst of two queens meeting in the park outside Fotheringhay (who cares if history has been amended to suit dramatic license?), or Elisabetta's horrifying realization upon the execution of her beloved.

 Opera Today : DONIZETTI: Roberto Devereux
As with Rossini, opera fans could argue Donizetti's case either way, but in the end it is the undeniable beauty of his music, his ability to create engaging melodies and his acute understanding of the human voice, that speak to Donizetti’s real talent.
In the case of Devereux, Donizetti, not inclined to involve himself in political turmoil, used the rigid and tyrannical English Queen to paraphrase the social and political situation in his homeland.
This performance of Devereux, eighteen years after his professional debut, shows Raimondi in total control of his instrument and he imbues the character of Essex with the youthful naiveté and virility of a younger man so often lacking in more mature singers.
