Never betray a woman, especially your Queen.

This Bel Canto masterpiece centers around the tragic love affair between Queen Elizabeth and Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex. Though jealous of Devereux's love for another woman, Elizabeth is prepared to forgive his treachery if he returns to her. But Devereux's resistance leads to his demise. Minnesota favorite Brenda Harris (Maria Padilla) stars as Elizabeth, alongside baritone Lester Lynch (Il trovatore), in the first installment of The Minnesota Opera's Tudor Trilogy.
