UCA features 'Donizetti's Maria Stuarda'

The University of Central Arkansas Public Appearances will feature “Donizetti’s Maria Stuarda” at 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 20, in the Reynolds Performance Hall.

Mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato, one of the world’s most exciting singers, takes on the virtuosic bel canto role of the doomed Mary, Queen of Scots.

Director David McVicar turns to the second opera of Donizetti’s Tudor trilogy, which explores regal characters at fateful moments of their lives.

Elza van den Heever sings Elizabeth I, and Maurizio Benini conducts. For ticket information, visit uca.edu/ publicappearances.
