Release Date:

December, 31st 1969

Runtime:

3 hr. 10 min.

An encore performance of Donizetti's Maria Stuarda will be shown in select cinemas nationwide on Wednesday, May 13. A pseudo-historical opera about Mary, Queen of Scots, and her bitter rivalry with Queen Elizabeth I, Donizetti's drama thrills with intense stand-offs and impressive vocal displays. Soprano Diana Damrau and mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton square off as two of history's most formidable monarchs, with Maurizio Benini conducting.
