The second in Donizetti's trilogy of the "Tudor Queens" is the story of Mary, Queen of Scots. Even working within the constraints of bel canto conventions, Donizetti infuses the drama with moments of intense emotion, most notably in the duet between the two queens (Mary and Elizabeth) in which the accusations and insults and hostilities are hurled in every direction.
