After the dress rehearsal of this opera, a royal decree forced a hasty rewrite to compose the disastrousBuondelmente, and the composer of this opera supposedly dismissed a possible rewrite by scribbling in themargins "But it's ugly!" Roberto announces his love for the title character of this opera in the duet "Shewas the picture of love," and the queen realizes that he is in love when she reveals she intends to marryFrancois I. The female lead in this opera is considered to be one of the composer's namesake "ThreeQueens," and that character declares that the English throne is tainted by a "vile bastard" and an "impuredaughter of Boleyn." For 10 points, name this opera by Gaetano Donizetti adapted from a Schiller playabout the title "Queen of Scots."
