From the overture, complete with rendition of “God Save the Queen,” it moved from tuneful to dramatic to soaring, and, especially in Radvanovsky’s performance, the shifts were more than majestically handled. In fact, Donizetti wrote to Salvatore Cammarano, his librettist, “this opera was to be of his emotions” and no question that the rise and fall of feeling figures big throughout the score, already rich and ample in subject. In the opera, Elisabeth is queen at her most passionate and complicated. Donizetti and his librettist Salvatore Cammarano centered the opera on Elisabeth’s love relationship with the Earl of Essex, Roberto Devereux, a young and dashing courtier his betrayal of her and her role in his punishment and her despair. “Roberto Devereux” gives us this in full measure, although in Sondra Radvanovsky’s performance, we had more than our share. Rossini, Bellini, and Donizetti aimed for luxurious sound more than dedication to psychological subtlety as we have in Verdi. The opera sits squarely in the bel canto tradition, with its style of expression dedicated to vocal technique of its soloists. If Elizabeth herself had heard her sing, she’d have more than a double. No designated drop-off/pick-up area has been organized for the event.It is true, at least in the brilliant portrayal of Elizabeth I by soprano, Sondra Radvanovsky, in the San Francisco Opera’s production of “Roberto Devereaux.” In Donizetti’s third and most popular Tudor Queen opera (“Anna Bolena” and “Maria Stuarda” being the other two), Radvanovsky sings with moving beauty as she dramatized the role of Elisabetta and electrified the entire opera.
