It was with this opera, premiered in Milan in 1830, that Donizetti's reputation as one of the leading opera composers of Europe was cemented. The premiere was quickly followed by performances in London, Paris, and in 1839, in New Orleans. Finally, Donizetti had a good libretto, though one that doesn't let the facts of the real life of Anne Boleyn get in the way of the story!
This recording which dates from 1973 using the uncut version of the opera has been at the top of the critics' list of recommended versions since its release. The cast is very strong, and the supporting roles each have big-name singers. But the real star of this recording is Beverly Sills, closely followed by Shirley Verrett.
