See Mary, Queen of Scots, and Elizabeth I clash in Donizetti’s dramatic Maria Stuarda at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York.
About this tour
At the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, Maria Stuarda brings the rivalry between Mary, Queen of Scots, and Elizabeth I to the stage with fierce political stakes and intimate drama. Inspired by Friedrich Schiller’s play, this opera by Donizetti turns a turbulent chapter of royal history into a showcase for powerful voices.
The performance runs 175 minutes. Its mid-19th-century bel canto style places the drama in the vocal lines, while the orchestral writing adds beauty and tension. The two queens’ contrasting ideas of royalty come into sharp focus, culminating in a celebrated confrontation. The leading roles can be sung by either a soprano or a mezzo-soprano, making the contrast between the performers central to the experience.
Take your assigned seat and follow a rarely performed work that has only recently found a place in the repertory. Book your New York Maria Stuarda opera ticket for an evening of vocal intensity and royal conflict.

How this score is calculated
This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.
How the score works
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
