Scandal. Secrets. And a mother’s love wrapped in velvet and venom. Donizetti’s Lucrezia Borgia is a dark and dazzling tale of political ambition, family ties, and deadly betrayal in Renaissance Italy. The infamous Lucrezia—feared as much for her rumored poisonings as for her power—is more than a femme fatale: she’s a woman fighting to protect her greatest secret.

When her long-lost son Gennaro, unaware of their bond, falls into the crosshairs of her enemies, tragedy unfolds with heartbreaking inevitability. Donizetti’s lush bel canto score soars with vocal fireworks and aching lyricism, giving center stage to one of opera’s most complex and misunderstood women.

Making a rare appearance on Baltimore’s opera stage, Lucrezia Borgia is a must-see for fans of vocal brilliance, high-stakes drama, and gorgeous 19th-century style.
