A deadly conflict between the reigning Queen of England, Elizabeth I, and her rival for the throne, Mary Queen of Scots. Donizetti's highly dramatic and stirring music accompanies the vocal fireworks that spark between these two strong-willed women culminating in the royal conflagration that never really happened. In the end we go with Mary to the block as she faces her final judgement at the hands of Elizabeth.
