Gaetano Donizetti's 1837 opera Roberto Devereux satirized the romantic and political peccadilloes of Queen Elisabeth I as it examined the personal gamesmanship between four disparate characters. Roberto Devereux was originally commissioned by the San Carlo Opera House in Naples, and this video records a 1998 performance of the opera at San Carlo; Roberto Devereux features Giuseppe Sabatini in the title role and Alexandrina Pendatchanska as Elisabeth I. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
