The revival of Mariame Clément’s staging Maria Stuarda, restaged by Jean-Michel Criqui in a collaboration between the Royal Danish Opera and the Grand Théâtre de Genève, has received widespread acclaim – critics have lauded both the evocative staging and the stellar cast. Gaetano Donizetti’s timeless bel canto masterpiece is brought to life through the emotionally charged performances of soprano Gisela Stille (Maria Stuarda) and mezzo-soprano Elisabeth Jansson (Elisabetta).

”Elisabeth Jansson sings Elisabetta, the name in the opera, with convincing poise and strength. She reaches all the way down to the back row.”
– Louise Frevert, Kultur Information (translated from Danish)
“Gisela Stille and Elisabeth Jansson sing and play the battle of the two queens with great intensity.”
– Pia Fossheim, operaensvenner.dk (translated from Danish)
