Update: beginning tonight on Unnatural Acts of Opera (2007 edition), a return to Italian opera, with one of today’s most controversial cult divas starring as (what else) a conflicted queen. Nelly Miricioiu sings the role of Elisabetta I in Donizetti’s Roberto Devereux, in a 2002 performance from the Royal Opera, Covent Garden.
