Maria Stuarda from Teatro Real arrives on DVD and Blu-ray: Naxos, July 2026

Lisette's acclaimed Maria Stuarda from Teatro Real is coming home to the shelf. David McVicar's production — in which Lisette sings the title role of Donizetti's doomed Queen of Scots — will be released on DVD and Blu-ray by Naxos on July 10, 2026.

Captured live in Madrid, the release preserves McVicar's staging with its monumental sets and sumptuous Elizabethan costumes, tracing the merciless rivalry between Elizabeth I and Mary Stuart from their flamboyantly lyrical confrontation to the poignant final execution scene.
