Abstract: Donizetti’s opera “Lucrezia Borgia” presents one of the most complex female characters in the history of Italian lyrical theatre – a notable portrait of “femme fatale”. Based on Victor Hugo’s play, Gaetano Donizetti’s creation offers generous interpretation contexts, both from a vocal and a dramaturgic point of view. This article will deal with the particularities of Lucrezia Borgia’s role, underlining the importance of the relationship between vocality and dramaturgy, focusing on the analysis of the main soloist moments.

Key words: Lucrezia Borgia, Donizetti, character, typology, vocality
