In Wien zählte Gaetano Donizettis Lucrezia Borgia einst zu den überaus beliebten Opern, ein Werk, das nach seiner hiesigen Erstaufführung im Jahr 1839 bis Ende des Jahrhunderts ein gängiges Wiener Repertoirestück war. Kein Wunder, bietet die Oper neben Donizettis meisterhafter Musik auch ein Sujet, das griffiger kaum sein kann. Schließlich ranken sich allein um die historische Gestalt der Titelfigur und ihre prominente Adelsfamilie zahllose blutrünstige Legenden; und auch im Plot der Oper, der auf Victor Hugo zurückgeht, finden sich Giftkelch, Gruppenmord und vermeintliche Untreue. In konzertanter Form erklingt Lucrezia Borgia nun, nach fast 120 Jahren Pause, wieder im Haus am Ring.
