A deliberate misinterpretation seals Beatrice di Tenda's miserable fate: an intimate conversation with Orombello comes at just the right time for her heartless and unfaithful husband Filippo. Because he does not love his Beatrice and wants to get rid of her as quickly as possible, the Duke of Milan puts all his eggs in one basket - and demands her death for the adultery that did not take place.

Beatrice, who was actually led to the scaffold at the command of her despotic husband in the 14th century, inspired Vincenzo Bellini to write this early and unjustly forgotten work. The master of bel canto shows off with finely structured melodies and ravishing coloraturas that skilfully place the feelings of the heroine at the centre and give space to every emotion, making the composer's vision a reality: Music "that expresses the word in the most intimate way". With exquisite musical seductiveness and vocal virtuosity, the tragic heroine conquers the stages of Düsseldorf and Duisburg in a concerted performance.
