The Critical Edition – Study Score series offers a selection of scores from the Ricordi critical edition catalogue in a practical study format. Each paperback volume faithfully reproduces the complete musical text of the corresponding hardcover edition, while the historical introduction and critical commentary are available as a downloadable digital supplement. An indispensable resource for performers, scholars, and enthusiasts who wish to explore this repertoire from a musicological perspective, with the convenience of a portable format. The critical edition of Maria Stuarda provides for the first time in a single publication all the music that was definitely composed by Donizetti for this dramatic opera. Written by the composer in 1832 for the Teatro di San Carlo in Naples, the opera was banned by the censors just a few days before it was scheduled to open.
